Maggie,
Thanks for the comments. The balloon centre at Sutton Coldfield was Number 5 Balloon Centre, responsible for 911, 912 & 913 Squadrons and the north Birmingham balloon barrage.
Can you check with your Mum exactly where the balloon site was, and the approximate date when the balloon had broken free.
The RAF used balloons with baskets suspended below them for parachute training up until about 1990.
Regards
Phil
