Mix 96 Balloon

If you were out walking your dog, or perhaps going for an early morning jog this morning, in Upton at 7:25am, you may have found yourself looking up into the sky to see the Mix 96 balloon. What a peaceful way to see Buckinghamshire? The puff of the burner hardly registered much louder then the bird song below, (at least from the ground) as it gently passed over the houses in Upton Road.

I was looking at the various sites that advertise balloon flights in the area, and I've concluded it was likely from the company Champagne Flights I could be completely wrong, (I usually am) but I base this detective work on the following criteria;

1) Their launch site is near Hardwick, which is of course North of Upton, and according to the BBC weather page for Aylesbury there was a North North Westerly wind this morning, which presumably would have directed the balloon Southerly towards Upton.
2) On their website, it says they can travel up to 10 miles, which puts Upton easily within their travelling radius.
3) The balloons take off just before 7am, which also puts it within the right time slot as well...

Zooming in on the picture I counted a total of three people in the box, with a possible fourth on the other side of the burner, out of view. According to the Champagne flights website, with this number of people involved, (obviously excluding the pilot) this would cost £125 for each person-in case you were wondering...
