Gerry has kindly agreed to do the interview for us all on the forum, just sorting out a convenient date etc.
Gerry is probably the UK's answer to Ralph Dewey in America, he has been around a very long time in the balloon world  
And has seen many changes and it's growth over the years, he is very knowledgeable on all things related to balloon's,
in fact a mind of information on the subject and has brought out many books on the subject over the years.
He was also the person to design and help me with the spitfire on the portfolio/gallery page on my website.
If you look closely you will see we named it GL2
