RUPERT BEAR
Sometime in the 1990s I think, a 150 foot highe Rupert Bear balloon flew across London (with Viscount Linley's girlfriemd aboard).

RUPERT AS HE MIGHT HAVE LOOKED HAD NOT THE DAILY EXPRESS WANTED THE MORE EYE-CATCHING RED JERSEY Tourtell's original Rupert Bear was more pleasing to the eye, surely, than the now famous bright red and yellow outfit?
