Air Balloon (pub)
- ... that the Air Balloon pub in Gloucestershire is believed to have been named after pioneering British hot air balloon flights? Source: "The pub probably takes its name from the pioneering balloon flights that took place on the Cotswold Escarpments in 1784, just a year after the Montgolfier brothers". North Cotswold Pubs Though Time Amberley, 2012, p.14

I don’t think traffic is a particularly good hook, though it’s what makes the pub well known. Although I’ve stopped here several times, and driven round the junction even more, I didn’t know about the name, so that seemed the ideal hook. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:03, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
