Henry Bentinck, at home with his family on his 70th birthday, recounting tales of the first Nimble balloon shoot in Spain in 1968.
They used a hydrogen balloon and broke several world records during the week's shoot.
Henry would follow the Land Rover that was following the balloon through thick scrub and desert in a convertible VW Beetle, with an eyepatch and long hair. He was the producer, writer and originator of the whole Nimble balloon campaign.
He also wrote the line, "Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes". A phrase that has entered the language.
Henry died in 1997.
