MOTOR dealers Mitchell successfully launched the Mitsubishi hot air balloon at Leahurst's pet pig show over the Easter holiday.

The Mitsubishi main dealers were at the vets' college, Neston, to promote the new Galant, which is launched today.

But there were no pigs aboard their big air bag, only show-goers hoping to win a Galant car or QE2 holiday.
