Cameron Balloons

[1] Cameron had previously, with others, constructed ten hot air balloons under the name Omega.

In 1983 Cameron Balloons moved into its current premises in the former Robinsons paper bag/printing factory (built in 1887 in the Bedminster area of the city).

Notable amongst these private buyers is the late Malcolm Forbes of Forbes magazine, who commissioned a number of special shapes, including Harley-Davidson motorbike, Sphinx, bust of Beethoven, French Chateau, Pagoda and Minaret.

First, Cameron acquired its main British competitor Thunder & Colt Balloons.

[10] Then, it bought the smaller Sky Balloons, which had been formed by former Thunder & Colt employees after the company's sale.
