The stream of new ads has slowed down during October, although a number of items have sold - including vintage Cameron N-65 G-BOOB, Kim's LBL 360, 2 baskets, burner, tanks, trailer and aged Land Rover. For November we have added tanks and a fan from Mike Scholes, 2 Cameron burners moving from ‘Stop Press’ (one single and one double), another 8hp fan from Andy Rawson plus … [Read more...]

Once again the List this month consists of several items from ‘Stop Press’ which came in during September, deletions of items sold - including 2 Cameron Mk4 double burners, 2 baskets, tanks & a fan. G-CBPW has been deleted, known to have changed hands some months ago. Another ‘golden oldie’ (sorry, ‘silver oldie’!) Thunder Ax6-56 G-THOM from 1981 moved very quickly during … [Read more...]

August saw quite a bit of tidying up in the List with sales notified of Cameron A300 G-CJXI, Cameron V-77 envelope G-BUWU and Cameron H34 Hopper G-EROS with a couple more ‘rumoured’ to have sold where we await confirmation from their owners. Similarly we have ‘tidied up’ the wanted ads now that some owners have fulfilled their needs. New this month is Cameron V-42 G-BYRK … [Read more...]

Once again the past month has proved popular with ‘Stop Press’ items and with more to come …. Keith Peirce quickly sold his low houred Cameron Sport 90 G-CKXE, Jim Atkinson his Worthingtons and fan, Peter Mossman his basket, Ian Jones several trailers whilst Arthur Street commented that the word “Free” in ads sounds very attractive to balloonists! For August these pages … [Read more...]

The introduction of our ‘Stop Press’ section has certainly increased the number of items passing through these pages. June resulted in ads from far & wide - with some very quick sales as a result. Overall, the month saw the sale of hopper G-CINN, 77A G-CDUY, Oscar’s 77 SE-ZEM in Sweden and his A-120 finding new work. Three fans sold too - a 5.5, 8 & 13hp plus Steve … [Read more...]

This issue is running a bit late due to our team being at the Midlands Air Festival over the past weekend. However that did result in all the new ads hitting ‘Stop Press’ on the website the day before we left. The meet was marred by strong winds except the Saturday early morning slot - when 112 balloons flew in sunny conditions in front of a sizeable public audience. James … [Read more...]

After the wet UK winter, April by contrast turned into an early summer here with many of us enjoying some flyable mornings and the first of those magic evening flights which end in a gentle landing leaving time for a relaxing drink & meal afterwards ! The market for balloons and accessories has been busy too. Jan Vonka’s US built V-77 quickly found a local buyer straight … [Read more...]

A number of envelopes have sold during March - G-BIGL, G-SETI and G-BHIG in Sweden in lined up for a new sponsor.

Although 2025 started with a welcome “Flyable Icicle Refrozen” meet - just one slot on Saturday AM (4th Jan) - the rest of the month has been dull, windy with any calm spells spoilt by soggy fields. Those venturing over the channel have fared much better at Filzmoos, Pfronten, Germany, Chateau d’Oex and Mondovi from reports received. A number of sales from the List have been … [Read more...]

The big news this month in all respects is Henk Bembom’s sale of the unflown Unicef Cameron R-700. Just proves that some items might spend years in the List, but many do find a home in the end. Davd Usill’s G-WOTW, an Ultramagic M-77 bearing a map of the world has also found a new home whilst Roy Battersby has ended up giving away his aged V-56 envelope G-BLUJ. Two baskets have … [Read more...]

Most of the items new for December are from ‘Stop Press’ and include Sean Simingtons G-CMEK, a nearly new LTL2-70 envelope with … [Read more...]
