Thanks. It is very interesting how google searches show different things from different countries and users. I could not find such a thing. Great I thought, I will buy it. Only to find it will deliver to the Flakland Islands, and Taiwan and everywhere --- except the UK. I could believe it was a conspiracy if it was a globe that had Crimea belonging to Russian, or Tibet as independent, but it it a star globe. How can that be controversial? I will smuggle it to Ireland or the Isle of Mann. But yes inflatable is good. I want one. Big enough to see small enough to store. And we have air pumps aboard the boat a plenty.
