Bristol Balloon Fiesta 1997 - BBC News West Coverage

Another video from our archives. The BBC News West (Now BBC Points West) coverage of the first mass ascent at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta 1997 and how some of the Fiesta's most popular special shaped balloons were built.

This is how the fiesta should be. We need more complex special shape balloons!

Excellent video. Nice to see so many shapes there at the Fiesta. Just wondering, do you have News West coverage of the 98 and 99 fiestas? :)

I may have, I just need to find the video/DVD that they are on. I will try and upload some more videos closer to the fiesta. Subscribe to us for more ballooning videos!
