Only two envelopes sold during November, although a fair few smaller items found new homes. For December we have lots of new entries - 2 rides balloons - an old 250 envelope, the 2 envelopes which appeared under ‘Stop Press’ last month, a selection of smaller items from Colin Wolstenholme, one of Thunder’s famous 1m square baskets, a rides balloon camera system and a whole … [Read more...]

October was another month to see minimal sales on the envelope front, with a couple of advertisers withdrawing their ads for November having not attracted suitable buyers - maybe it is the time of year .... New for November is a ‘Ladybird’ Cameron 105 envelope plus a rather tired Colt 180A, which having not flown since 2006, lacks transition to the EASA airworthiness … [Read more...]

The September issue resulted in one complete balloon (an 80) being sold, with another withdrawn from sale. The 8m tethered sphere also sold, as did a whole host of smaller items. Nick Dunnington has satisfied his “situations wanted” ad and Steve Hawke at Raging Thunder in Australia has filled his vacancy - but not with each other! The main additions for October are from Andy … [Read more...]

August proved to be a quiet month for sales - unless you know better! One balloon was temporarily withdrawn from sale, whilst a number of bottom ends once again found buyers. Please remember to report your sales - or tell us if you spot any ads where you know a sale has already been made. New for September is a 77 - available as a complete balloon or envelope only from Chris … [Read more...]

July has been another busy month for the ballooning market place.

New for August are two small envelopes (31 & 42), two complete balloons (77 & 133), a complete airship, another bottom end, basket and … [Read more...]

As predicted June has been busy with sales, almost certainly driven by the devalued pound and the run up to Metz .... Although only one complete balloon left the List, many small items have been sold, with more to be boxed up this week.... We are pleased to welcome a whole host of new ads for July - a vintage but low houred V-56, a well looked after all red Colt 90A, an … [Read more...]

Zebedee seems to have had one of its busiest months ever for sale of all sorts of items, from log books and small items to envelopes, burners and tanks. The larger items have mainly (but not all) gone abroad, whilst there is certainly a resurgence in progress in the UK, judging by the number of training manuals, log books and training records sold. Two complete balloons and … [Read more...]

Our ‘old ads’ reminders have generated replies from just over 50% of those sent, so it would be nice to hear from the rest of you ..... This round up has resulted in one complete 140 being reported sold, a 105 envelope now withdrawn from sale, many smaller items now reported as sold and a fair few price reductions. Only one old ad has been “forcibly removed” so far as our email … [Read more...]

Welcome to this our 30th birthday issue! Occasionally late, sometimes early but never missing a month in all that time. We can’t help wondering how many sales/purchases have resulted from the List? Quite a few items have left the list during the past month, including a complete 105, envelopes sized 60 and 90 and a number of bottom ends, with Koen in Belgium moving a couple … [Read more...]

Two complete balloons - a 90 and 275 both found overseas homes as a result of the List last month, as have a number of smaller items. No new complete balloons or envelopes join the List this time, although a helium Sphere suitable for the projection of advertising and a brand new Tekno bottom end appear in this issue. Meanwhile we have a contact looking for a serviceable … [Read more...]

2017 has seen a flurry of activity already, with a complete 90 and 210 selling, together with a 160 envelope, four bottom ends and several fans. One of the bottom ends was from a vintage T&C 77, advertised in France by Martin Christidis which sold elsewhere in France within a couple of weeks... New for February are the two complete 90s and an elderly 90 envelope which … [Read more...]

After the lull in November, last month saw the sale of two complete balloons, two envelopes and several bottom ends. Zebedee has had a run of sales on used quick releases (only new ones in stock at present) and drop lines (still more to go ....!) New for January is a Staffordshire 2.5m trailer and an old but complete T&C bottom end stored in France. Stuart Seager is … [Read more...]
