Blimp Flying
30/06/2009
Thanks to the nice people at Imagine Inflatables, we are going to be flying a blimp on Sunday 5th July at a height of 125m, equivalent to the height of the tips of the turbine blades
The idea behind flying the blimp is twofold.
Firstly, in doing so, we want to provide a real, visual, irrefutable demonstration of just how big these turbines will be. They are much bigger than Big Ben, the Tinsley Cooling Towers and the turbines at Burton Latimer on the A14
The second reason to do this is so that we can take pictures of them from various points around the area and use these in our presentation to Harborough District Council. Broadview's own photomontages are disingenuous - they do not show what the turbines will look like (you need a magnifying glass to see their viewing instructions and if you don't follow the viewing instructions, you won't get a true representation).
We ask for as many volunteers as possible to go out and take pictures of the blimp on the day. Please send your pictures to us either by email or on CD at our postal address:
