This image was taken at the Midlands Air Festival which took place deep in the Warwickshire Country side, at the historic Ragley Hall in 2018.
An early start is sometimes worth the effort, after arriving at 5am I was treated to a mass Hot Air Balloon Launch. I was fortunate enough to witness an incredible 72 Balloons taking to the air simultaneously. This was quite a specular site in the gentle glow of the early morning sun. The perfect weather conditions or low winds allowed the balloons to ‘box’ gently around the airfield staying in close formation, a rare occurrence in the ballooning world.
Many of the Balloons had travelled considerable distances to attend the event, including international participants from as far as New Zealand! The vivid colours of the Balloons make for a striking image against the beautiful English country park background. The Midlands Air Festival offers a weekend of varied flying activities including several Balloon launches and a power aircraft flying display featuring classic warbirds, aerobatics and historic jets.
