In September we were asked to arrange a balloon suitable for banner branding, to carry a family and film crew for a TV commercial for Visit Wales. The advert was due to be aired on Boxing Day to encourage tourism to Wales during 2025 and the balloon flight would be the closing sequence of the commercial. We agreed an ideal location and flew from within the grounds of Raglan Castle in October, on a beautiful frosty morning for almost an hour. At the time of the balloon launch we had a helicopter, drone, first unit and second unit all co-ordinated by the Director, making the most of the 'Golden Hour' of fantastic light from the sun rising through a misty landscape.
