This week's Image of the Week (featured on page 5 of Flight International), is taken by AirSpace user apgphoto (Paul Dopson). Paul's photo depicts the Aeromagic Space Shuttle-shaped balloon, which Paul photographed in July 2009 at the Lorraine Mondial Air Balloons held at Chambley in France. Paul says, "This was the morning when 329 balloons took off!"

We've selected Paul's image in connection with our feature articles in this week's Flight International about the Space Shuttle in honour of the craft's impending retirement.

Editor's note: You--yes, you!--can submit photos to have one featured as our Image of the Week (see below). From now until 1 December you can also submit photos for our front cover competition.

Start a gallery on AirSpace for your chance at having your photograph featured as our Image of the Week.

This week's Image of the Week (featured on page 3 of Flight International), is taken by AirSpace user apgphoto. His photo depicts a Cameron Hopper one man balloon.

He writes of his photo:

The balloon is flown by a good friend of mine and is a Cameron Hopper which is a one man balloon, just strap the cylinder to your back (so to speak) and off you go. It was previously flown for Proctor and Gamble to advertise their Fairy Liquid brand of washing up
liquid, the baby being their logo. The picture was shot last weekend [10-11 April] on a local flight from our base in Wales just before I flew out more conventional balloon.
