My daughter found this strange thing in the park .First thing she spotted
was the 100 feet or so long tether the parachute and the exploded carrying
balloon.
It has no other markings except the manufacturer valsalla.com.
They are not sold in the Netherlands My guess is that's a probe from the UK.
Would anyone here know what the range of these things is?
best
