JULIAN NOTT'S PERSONAL FLIGHT BOOK.
Original flight log entitled Personal Flying Log Book, original blue cloth, 145 x 175 mm, partially printed and completed in manuscript, June 23, 1969 through October 29, 1989, 117 completed leaves, evenly toned, binding with general wear.
An amazing record of Julian Nott's ballooning exploits. The book begins with his very first flight as a passenger during the Queen's Parade in a balloon captained by Giles Bulmer. Nott was said to be impressed enough with this flight that he went on to obtain his balloon pilot's license the following year. The record includes each of Nott's subsequent flights, many with some commentary about the trip. All of his celebrated flights from the period are included as well as the test flights leading up to those flights. The commentary provides wonderful insights. From May 22, 1972: "First flight in full high altitude rig to attempt a world altitude record. Reached 20,000 feet (QNH). Approximately 25 miles covered." After a few flights he finally breaks the altitude record at 36,200 feet and then works to eventually bring the number to 55,130 feet on October 31, 1980: "Very successful high altitude flight. Flew to 54,800 indicated. But clearly better after [?] correction. Leo out at Fl.149 (Definitely confirmed [?] ATC film/tapes). FAI confirmed at 55,134."
