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...]

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 Another balloon has been withdrawn from sale.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.
