Lots of sales took place in February including Gary Madelin’s Cameron C-60 G-CGFN, David McCutcheon’s Ultramagic M-90 G-ROSK and Eric Tritz confirmation that both his Kubiceks have gone. Other sections have seen sales including bottom ends, baskets, fans and a trailer.

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...]

Crispin’s very pretty Kubicek BB20D G-CSEE was sold last month, whilst Mike Scholes has ensured his 1991 Colt 77A ‘Chad’ will be aired from time to time by the Bristol Balloon Collectors. Zebedee has sold two burners and a pair of burner frames. 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...]

Only one fan has exited the List this month, although we think a number of items are sold but advertisers have not advised us yet ….! Similarly the items on Stop Press make up the majority of items new to the List, bolstered by Peter Mossman’s Viva 77 G-BIGL making a re-appearance and another 77 envelope offered by Zebedee in Hungary. A new ‘Wanted’ ad from Belgium requests … [Read more...]

Unless you know otherwise September has been a poor month for sales with no envelopes reported sold. For October we have Dick Sargent’s LBL35A Hopper G-GABI which after a long flying career sees Dick retiring. For many years he has represented LBL in Switzerland and prior to that bought appropriately registered G-DICK on the second hand market and owned it for 29 … [Read more...]

After a busy couple of months on the Zebedee List, things have quietened down somewhat during August. A late flurry of sales activity as we edit these pages have seen both the Fell Reynolds balloons sold, as has G-BXXG and G-CBOW and at the last minute, G-CHBX. The only balloons entering the main list this issue are those which have moved over from ‘Stop Press’ but Andy … [Read more...]

Two complete balloons are reported as sold during July - Kim’s 250 which has sold to mainland Europe and at the other end of the scale, Ultramagic H-31 G-CIOV has found a new home in Italy. One balloon, G-CECS an LBL 105A moves from Stop Press into the main List together with a number of components that have been listed during July. Only the remaining items from Tony Brown’s … [Read more...]

The most sought after ‘complete rig’ over recent years has been a “90” up from the “77” of the old days …. Well this month, moving over from ‘Stop Press’ to the main list are two of them - and a 77 (for us oldies?!) plus a very attractive Kubicek 70 from Crispin. Glen Everett is selling the 90s on behalf of a friend - one of them already ‘positioned’ in Mondovi’, the 77 is … [Read more...]

The June List is a bit later than usual, caused by the deluge of ads and the many sales which have resulted over the past few weeks. Keeping the List up to date has been quite a challenge! A complete 90 has sold, as have 90 and 31 envelopes. G-FOGG’s envelope has gone to the BBM&L whilst the other components have been sold. Another balloon has been withdrawn from sale. … [Read more...]

The List seems to have exploded with new ads during April with everything from complete balloons to large collections of all those ancillaries we require— fans, ropes, hoses, flight bags etc. Nick Godfrey’s selection of such items remains on Stop Press so that everything appears in one ad rather than distributed amongst the sections within the main list. Gone is Peter … [Read more...]

Colt 21A G-BOLN originally one of a trio of ‘Pepsi Hoppers’ has found a new home in France during March, whilst other sales include Mike Scholes’ Titanium cylinders, a basket, radio, flying suit, quick release and several items from Peter Mossman - which made it on to ‘Stop Press’ during the month. His two balloons, a crispy fabric Cameron O-65 and former Irish ‘Budget Travel’ … [Read more...]
