Hot air balloon lands in Warwick Avenue, Quorn, 1986
Do you remember the day in May 1986 when a hot air balloon landed in Warwick Avenue? It caused quite a stir and everyone rushed out of their houses to have a look. In fact there was a joke that you never open the door to strangers unless they arrive in a hot air balloon!
David Bodicoat, who took this photograph, recalls “The thing was enormous! The occupants eventually deflated it, packed it away into its basket and drove off in in a Land Rover (or similar)."
Apparently the event never even made the Loughborough Echo – today it would be all over social media!
