30,000 people turned up to watch the sixth annual Oxford
Balloon Festival last weekend although strong winds hampered the
performance of the balloons, a record number of which were on
display. The two day event started at Cutteslowe Park on Saturday night
with a fireworks display and a light show. Sunday saw 36
balloons, including a massive Russian airship, launched into
Oxford skies.ARCHIVE: 2nd week TT 2004
