Shropshire farmer, aged 93, gets a bird's eye view of the land he used to toil
A 93-year-old Shropshire farmer got a bird's eye view of his land at the weekend when he was whisked off in a hot air balloon.
John Vance spent the last 50 years farming in Upper Grimmer, Minsterley, but after getting the bug for hot air balloons a couple of years ago, the semi-retired farmer got to see the farm from upon high on Sunday.
Sunday's flight was John's fourth after he caught the ballooning bug following the death of his wife Barbara.
