High altitude, pressurized hot-air balloon ‘Daffodil II’ cabin: with the overall design specification by Julian Nott, England; cabin shell structure designed by Roger Munk at Aerospace Developments, London, England, and Tony Offredi, England; cabin floor laminate resin manufactured by Ciba-Geigy Ltd., Europe; with overall cabin construction by Maidboats Limited, Thames Ditton, Surrey, England, 1973. On 25th February 1974, Julian Nott and Felix Pole used ‘Daffodil II’, to break the world hot-air balloon altitude record. They reached a height of 13,961 metres near Lake Bhopal, central India. Following the 1974 world hot-air balloon altitude record - for demonstration purposes - the balloon cabin was fitted out with two dummy pilots in pressure suits Hot-air Balloon ‘Daffodil II’ Cabin: 1974 World Altitude Record Holder 1973
