A friend of a farmer friend of mine found a weather balloon in his field. I was asked if I wanted it to have a look at which of course I totally did! I had been after one for a while!

Let's dissect it and see how it works, see what hidden features it contains, and see how you too can obtain one and repurpose or reprogram it!

If you're interested in chasing down and re-purposing one then here are some useful links!
