In the late 1970s and up to the late 1980s advertising balloons such as these were very popular, probably a tax-deductible way to fly. None of these three balloons still fly, G-SAFE on the left, owned by the Derbyshire Building Society and G-NBSI on the right owned by the Nottingham Building Society.

Whilst the CAA lists this as a hot air ballooon it is evidently not. Named Omega II it had a volume of 590 cubic metres and, If my memory serves me correctly, it used coal gas. It was written off on 28th February 1978. Seen at Wollaton Park.

Whilst the CAA lists this as a hot air ballooon it is evidently not. Named Omega II it had a volume of 590 cubic metres and, If my memory serves me correctly, it used coal gas. It was written off on 28th February 1978. Seen at Wollaton Park.

Seen as part of a balloon display as part of the Nottingham Festival, this balloon, made its first flight at Cardington on 21st May 1941 though it was not registered until 1965. It did not fly at the show. Though the register shows this to be a hot-air balloon it is clearly a gas balloon. It is seen weighted down with sand-bags and the magnificent Wollaton Hall is visible in the background.

For many years I was unsure of the type of this Balloon but it was identified as a Semco by Dave Wesner. It was seen taking off at a Balloon Festival as part of the Nottingham Festival.
