As part of this, the Vicar of Crediton was due to ascend in a hot air balloon from a park in the middle of the town. High winds prevented the balloon from taking off.

They were printed by the House of Questa and perf 14. Unmounted mint. If you are buying more than 1 item, please request total as I will combine postage.
