A beer mat produced by Heineken to coincide with its sponsorship of International Balloon Meetings. This one depicts G-AZER 'Shy Tot'.
Tom Donnelly bought 'Shy-Tot' in 1971 and broke the World Distance Record at 102km (63.4 miles) Class Ax5 British Distance Records as above for Ax5-Ax15 World and British Endurance Records Classes Ax5 – Ax15 of 2hrs 27mins. This was the first 42,000 cu.ft. balloon built in the UK, and built by the Cameron factory.
The BBM&L are fortunate to have G-AZER in their collection although the balloon is no longer airworthy after such a busy life!
