Hi all

Thought I would introduce myself. My interests are in old airfields (partcularly WW1) and Balloon Command sites, in particular Collaton Cross, near Plymouth, home to No. 13 Balloon Centre where my late father was based. I'm currently training as a microlight pilot (I have my own flexwing) and when qualified I plan to visit as many sites as possible and get some good oblique views under optimum lighting conditions.

I am also interested in decoy sites and radar installations. Hope to be able to contribute to this forum (photos one day!) and look forward to hearing from other members.

Welcome to the forum Nigel, I am sure your knowledge of Balloon sites will be very useful to us all and I look forward to reading your posts.

Good luck with the microlight training, its great fun!

Welcome to AiX NigelJ, it will be useful to have a member focussing on Balloon Sites.

Welcome to the forum Nigel. We have a good section on Balloon sites but not so much on the actual history of each one.
