This balloon named "Manpower" was recently purchased by Sandy as a permanent member of the collection.  Manpower was first owned by Joe Philp and previous owners have been Alex Simpson, Ray Bailey, Rod Rummery, Kate and George Ibbotson, Nigel Ponsford and Anne Lindsay .  In 2005 Kate and George Ibbotson brought Manpower back and have owned the balloon until we purchased her in 30th April 2011.  Watch out for 'Manpower' at inflation days as we ensure that 'she' can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
