I love your picture of the Goodyear blimp as that is something I don't remember ever seeing here in the UK. Marc

You definitely wouldn’t lose the Ford in a supermarket car park! All the best, Jon

There were about 4 of them but I think there is only one now stationed at Carson CA, just outside LA. They're very common here covering sporting events. It must have been a slow sports day because here it is covering me riding my bike on the beach bike path..lol Some info on them.....https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/blog/the-last-of-goodyears-blimps-has-been-retired-031417

Blimps used to be an almost daily feature in our old home, as it was the close to the site they originated 😊 Broncos are exceedingly rare beasts in Europe, though (old or new) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now that there's only one operating in this region I get to see it once in a blue moon 🙃
