Brad Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Much earlier than than the Andree medal I listed before. Like Andreee, Sadler also died in a ballooning accident. http://prba.org.uk/page.asp?p_id=16 Luckily, I acquired these after I took my girlfiend up in a hot-air bolloon for her birthday in August. Othrwise I am not sure she would have gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 It was great fun, got her up early, beautiful sunny day with light winds. Spent around 90 minutes up, then down for breakfast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 BHM 712 and while they list pewter examples as being "normal" rarity (supposedly encountered fairly often) in fact I've never seen another example of this medal. And I am so..... jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 That is a wonderful design for a medal. I've never seen one like it myself, only they full ballon and basket from a distance. The detail is a nice variation on the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
