| Below is a list of the envelopes now in the care of the museum. They vary from the polythene "Eccles" G-ATGN to the foil based envelope to the standard nylon envelope, not forgetting the airship and gas envelopes. Please feel free to click on the thumbnails to see a larger image, also included with the image is a brief history of the envelopes and explanations why they are in the collection. The collection is fairly nomadic, being stored with "keepers" or loaned for meets.
The information on the photographs comes from John Baker and Pete Bish's book, British Balloons, Air Britain and my own records. If anyone has additional information or corrections please contact the email address on the home page. |
