Swindon-born David Hempleman Adams' bid to cross the Atlantic in a wicker basket balloon has been delayed again after being given a red light due to bad weather over the Atlantic. David needs to fly before October 15 before the weather window needed closes.
He is hoping to launch from Pittsburgh in the United States early next week.
