Welcome to the forum Malcolm.

Hi Malcolm,

You are very welcome - and great to read that you had a good time with Paul Mahony in Portugal.

I'm not sure that many people realise that your Pauline is the wonderful Pauline Baker who currently holds 9 FAI World Records for ballooning with more planned over the coming years. Pauline is Ireland's most accomplished aviator in all disciplines. No other Irish pilot has held a World Record for manned flight and Pauline has handfuls of them!

Let's hope that Pauline doesn't get too serious about PPG or the rest of the guys can expect to move over to make room for her at the top of the podium!

Cheers,

Welcome Malcolm.

Look forward one day to flying with hot air balloons. Since seeing Gordons photos, have been dying to get to see them in the air!

All the best,
