So here we go, just as we reported a few days ago, the run down to Cameron Balloons taking over the airworthiness stuff of Lindstrand Hot Air Balloons Ltd (what is the company was called when Camerons took them over) is now coming out from Camerons. John Davies sent the following statement but try as we may, and I admit that I am not the most conversant when it comes to surfing webby things, cannot find any reference on the Cameron site to Lindstrand Balloons. Sorry, Lindstrand Hot Air Balloons Limited. Anyway, which way down a dark alley, here is the communication from John and if it isn’t up in the next few days I’m sure we can find a way to link to LBL manuals and the like but may end up being sued over by CBL. What ho!
