Hot air balloon skirts over rooftops in Northampton before landing in a playing field
The large Land Rover hot air balloon could be seen skirting low over the rooftops in Rectory Farm at around 7pm yesterday before landing in the playing fields there shortly after.
Onlookers helped to bring the craft to a stop in the field, before walking it over to nearby Rectory Farm road so it could be packed into a waiting trailer.
