History

Cameron Balloons Ltd.

 

1974-1976

The balloon was flown by Safia Tarzi, an Afghan princess. Safia and her crew were always immaculately dressed in black and white matching the colours of the balloon. On the 28 July 1975 she claimed a new female world altitude record of 21, 494 feet (6651m) in Jammy in the class AX7-AX15. 

Sadly Safia was killed in a ballooning accident in France on 20 March 1976 while flying as a passenger in another balloon.
