1972 WORLD ALTITUDE RECORD FLIGHT MAP.

1972 WORLD ALTITUDE RECORD FLIGHT MAP.
Printed map, approximately 860 x 700, constructed from separate map pieces with numerous annotations, with signs of heavy use.

Nott first took the World Altitude Record for a balloon flight in 1972 reaching 35,971 feet for which he was awarded the Royal Aero Club's 1972 silver medal—his first major prize. The map plots a broad area although he took off from Credenhill and landed a short distance away in Llandinabo, but flying for 3 hours, 25 minutes. An important memento of one of Nott's early ballooning achievements.
