Ballooning History
Christ Church played a central role in the recent re-creation of the first ever balloon flight by an Englishman, James Sadler, a pastry chef with a connection to Christ Church, when permission was given for a hot air balloon to take off from Christ Church Meadows. The re-creation flight on 18 July 2007 was in support of a good cause: it was a central plank in the celebrations of 1000 years of Oxfordshire’s history, and it also helped to raise money for the Chiltern and Thames Valley Air Ambulance Service. Mr. James Lawrie, Christ Church’s Treasurer flew as a passenger.Article and photos:
