The New Age of Ballooning

Next week on 'The Golden Age of Ballooning', Patalab will examine the work of Girlsher and Coxwell, the English balloonists who ascended to a height of seven miles in 1862 without washing. There's also a record of someone reading the book of 'The Golden Age of Ballooning', a crochet-work bedspread with the words 'The Golden Age of Ballooning' on it, available from the BBC, price €18 and there are matching toilet-seat covers and courtesy mats with illustrations of many of the baboons mentioned. Also available is a life-size model frog which croaks the words 'The Golden Age of Ballooning' and an attractive bakelite case for storing motorway construction plans in, made in the shape of a balloon.

Renseiw and Co. giving it quietly the full monty, Flying Circus wise. Coming soon to your favorite opera house in Copenhagen. Vorspiel here, or click on the balloon image.  /link updated
