'On the Beech' - around the world by vintage aeroplane and balloon

Follow the story of Bristol balloonists Phil and Allie Dunnington and their fixed wing team as they will attempt to balloon in places where nobody has ever flown a hot air balloon before! Will Phil - with his world record of 112 countries - bag in some more exotic places? Will 'Betty the Beech' manage the vast distances over Greenland and northern Canada? How will this mixed team work together in continuously changing and challenging situations?

First flight of G-DKGM - a Cameron 0-56

Last week Tuesday the 19th of April saw the first flight of our brand-new ultra light-weight Cameron 0-56 G-DKGM!

In matching colours G-BKGM and G-DKGM will hopefully depart together on the 20th of June for their world adventure heading first for Iceland, then Greenland and northern Canada before arriving at Oshkosh/USA

Taking off from a lovely private country house the two balloons rose to the skies with fellow pilot Ian Parsons taking those photos. Thank you very much Ian for those!
