<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">balloon gas</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for helium that I've seen before include "Balloon-filling element" , "Light colourless gas used in airships" , "Second lightest element" , "Lightest noble gas" , "Light colourless gas used in balloons" .)
