Zebedee Logo Zebedee List 
 

Issue 274
February 2010

 
 

 

The Zebedee List is a comprehensive list of secondhand balloons and other items for sale for balloonists. It is published monthly and can be obtained either in paper format or here on its web site.

One Swedish 210 has been sold, immediately replaced in this List by another. Two envelopes, a 90 and 105 have also sold, these being replaced with a Cameron Special Shape in Belgium and a good sounding 31 with turning vents...

Quite a few baskets, burners and fans join the List too along with a length of balloon printed fabric just waiting to become curtains or cushions... See ‘Other’.

We have updated C of A information as best we can for G– balloons (using G-INFO) but advertisers are asked to keep us up to date with all such info - no charge for changes!

The fire extinguisher AD notified in our December issue has been updated as EASA AD 2009-0262R1 with some updated serial number info.

John Till tells us that he has an agreement to get Russian Titanium cylinders not supplied by Lindstrand ‘legal’ for use in UK balloons. Such cylinders will be pressure tested and certified at reasonable cost in the near future but as one batch only. If you have any of these cylinders then contact John by email (johnftill@hotmail.com) by the end of February listing serial numbers. Bearing in mind the value and weight of such cylinders this work must be worthwhile...

Zebedee will be at the BBAC AGM at Stratford on 7th March (and the Instructor Day at the same venue on 6th). Deliveries of items possible either day...

Severely sight impaired (registered blind) balloonist Mike Scholes will be trekking to the North Pole in April 2010 to raise money for St Dunstan's. If you would like to help by sponsoring him, please visit his web site at www.northpole2010.org. Please e-mail the site to your friends. Thank you.

Another Round of Scams!

You have been warned...

An increasing number of our advertisers are again being targeted by the "Classified Ad Scam". One individual from overseas - 'she' apparently lives in several countries (!) - has contacted a number of our advertisers with offers to purchase equipment unseen. The fraud is revealed when it becomes apparent that they will send a cheque for more than the agreed price with the instruction to refund the excess by Western Union.

Our advice is to treat with suspicion any interest from a buyer who doesn't even want to look at the item for sale...

Read here for more details and advice.
