AEROTWAT

EDITORIAL

The first issue of Aerotwat was distributed in December 1993. Ten years on we felt we really should mark the end of this era with issue 2 better known as the last issue.

Thousands of passengers have come, flown and gone but the crew and pilots have more or less remained the same with a few recent youthful additions of Paul (Abba) and Martyn.

So what is ballooning doing for us (to us) all?

It has given us thrills and spills, ups and downs, problems and solutions, but above all great friends. An exclusive club for those idiots willing to rise at 5.00am, talk, seek and find the appropriate landowner in states of dress/undress with diplomacy, tact, bribery (wine), threats, and grovelling.

We have loved every minute……………………

Special Shapes Warning

When choosing a special shape to inflate it is important not to get confused between a Cameron envelope bag and the container in which you keep your latest sex aid.

Most people would think this is a difficult mistake to make but if you’re over 50, myopic and your first name is Tony then anything is possible. Take a look at the inflation that took place some years back, luckily for Tony it was in the privacy of his own back garden and Jude was not around at the time.

It just goes to show that even when he was in his fifties he could still get it up.

Who are these people?

Business News

The move of The Ballooning Business and its call centre to an out of Northamptonshire enterprise has had a dramatic effect on the local industry.

Techstone Software Corporation, producer of the world famous Flight Organiser range of software, is likely to be severely hit with possible redundancies. Company representative, Jane McCarthy, said that there would be some cut backs but it would enable the companies scarce resources to be channelled into other projects.
