Here's how London looked from a hot-air balloon back in 1993, when I flew over with @buhabs – at Windsor, South East

FLYING UPDATE - Tonight’s wind speeds are higher than balloons can fly in and the direction of the wind (which is heading in the direction of Avonmouth and the motorway) means that we are sad to let you know that we are unable to fly as scheduled at 6pm. 1/2
