Virgin Balloon Flights pilot Chris Oxby has this evening flown the Union Jack flag above the Yorkshire countryside, taking a basket full of happy passengers to the skies from our York Racecourse launch site.

Marking 60 years of the Queen’s reign, the Diamond Jubilee extended weekend got off to a great start for our Yorkshire passengers as they enjoyed their hot air balloon ride with the flag in tow. There was even a marriage proposal in the air above York!
