What if the world is flat?
In March 1999, Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard succeeded where 21 previous attempts before them had failed. They flew around the world nonstop in the Breitling Orbiter 3 hot air balloon, a journey that took them 19 days, 21 hours and 47 minutes. Brian Jones spoke to the branch about this unique journey.
