Performing hang glider drop at a Puch Balloon Meet. Info from a correspondent - Two balloon envelopes were made and both were registered SE-ZZO, the first in 1974 and the second in early 1978,. The fabric in the 1974 envelope (s/n 26) was fading to purple and a new envelope (s/n 129) was manufactured in 1978. Simon Faithfull bought the 1974 color fading envelope (s/n 26) from Thunder, they must have changed the s/n from 26 to 150 with the new registration G-THOR.
