Hi Jason,
I think you are right about the Google balloons I had a look at the Loon Project on Google and it's almost if not exactly identical to my shots.

I will break out the calculator and do some rough trig to see if I can't get a height. I'll chase up the diameter of the Loon balloons and take it from there.


Thanks for the information!
Richard
