Ask and ye shall receive:
‘Pipy’ the Scottish Piper piloted by Muir Moffat
registration: G-PIPY (cn 3815)
aviation link: http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/G-PIPY.html
the balloon maker's website: http://www.cameronballoons.co.uk/cgi...level=0&page=3
an even cooler picture of G-PIPY: http://www.airteamimages.com/41545.html
an article about the pilot (Muir Moffat): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-Scotsman.html
OK, so if that doesn't help track this balloon down for you, I dont know what will. Good Luck!!
