The Most Unsuccessful Balloon Journey

In 1823 Mr Charles Green, one of the first people to travel in a balloon, was getting ready for one of his balloon journeys. He climbed into the basket and started the fire that lifted the balloon off the ground. The balloon went up slowly but the basket stayed where it was.

Someone forgot to tic the basket to the balloon or perhaps they did not tie it on purpose. Mr Green and his friend did not want to stay in the basket, so they held on to the balloon. People watched the balloon as it went over the town of Cheltenham, with Mr Green and his friend still holding on underneath it.
