EDITORS COMMENTS
Little Miss Susan Howlett, a five-year-old girl, stands in awe next to the magnificent Union Jack Giant Balloon at Expo 70. The photograph captures her diminutive figure against the backdrop of this colossal balloon that is set to soar over the British pavilion at the upcoming Osaka exhibition in March 1970. Measuring an impressive 20 feet in diameter, this giant balloon showcases Britain's grandeur and presence on the global stage. It symbolizes not only national pride but also represents the spirit of international trade and cooperation. Lynne Roberts, an employee of Loyne Limited based in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire, plays a crucial role in preparing these balloons for their remarkable journey. Utilizing a special flexible coating technique developed by Loyne Limited, she ensures that each balloon is ready to withstand any weather conditions it may encounter during its flight. This image was taken on December 31st, 1969 - just before ushering in a new decade filled with hope and excitement. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to an era where exhibitions like Expo 70 showcased technological advancements and cultural exchanges between nations. The Union Jack Giant Balloon serves as a testament to both British ingenuity and Japan's appreciation for international displays of excellence.
