Bed weather forced the three German crew to fly over the North Sea. The Bollon made it to the Orkney islands. After hitting the sea several times the balloon struck a beach then smashed though a wall before coming to a full stop near Kirkwall. All three Germans did not have any injures. It was the first aviation accident in the Orkney islands.
