Cameron A-210 Hot Air Balloon G-GURL: On the morning of 3 September 1991 Cameron A-210 hot air balloon G-GURL landed in a grassy field at East Meon. It touched down, ascended briefly, touched down again and dragged for about thirty feet before coming to a halt. When the pilot instructed the passengers to leave the basket, one was unable to do so as a result of having suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured bone in the foot, presumably as a result of the impact on landing.
