March saw only two envelopes (a 65 & 90) sell, whilst for April we add a complete V-90, a 77 bottom end, a ‘disabled’ basket, a rear rack for your vehicle (to enjoy the joys of trailer-less lightweight ballooning), a pilot restraint, quick release, a front half of a 13hp fan cage and a prop for a small (aprx 3hp) fan …. Also in ‘Other’, a Lindstrand burner bag in really … [Read more...]

Issue 346: February 2016

Issue 345: January 2016

Issue 344: December 2015
November has seen spectacular sales from the List with at least 12 envelopes / complete balloons disappear, ranging from 77 envelopes to three special shape envelopes and complete 210 and 260. Some of this has been helped by our annual round up of dormant ads but certainly not all ..... The round up has had a good response (65% so far) and has resulted in 6 fans, 4 trailers … [Read more...]
Issue 343: November 2015

Issue 342: October 2015
After September’s bumper issue, most of the sales for the month unsurprisingly were made by Allan Nimmo. Just one other complete balloon has sold, although bottom end equipment has faired better. Similarly it is baskets and burners that feature most in items added this time, although Zebedee has a complete 105 (G-BVRU) in stock, being sold only as the owner is moving abroad to … [Read more...]
Issue 341: September 2015

Included is a 14 year old LBL260A on its trailer with just 7 hours. The web picture of this was taken recently, located in Scotland as are the rest of the offerings. Also there are 5 more … [Read more...]
Issue 340: August 2015
By the time you read this, we hope you are all back safely from your adventures in Metz. This year's meet did not enjoy the usual wall to wall flyable weather we have become used to at Chambley however the record number of balloons in the mass inflation was a truly awesome sight and the weather did redeem itself later in the week. A number of complete balloons - a 56, two … [Read more...]
Issue 339: July 2015
Our apologies to advertisers and readers for the late appearance of the June issue on the website, our webmaster having been in ‘overload’ early in the month ..... Four envelopes have gone from the List, Barry Bower telling us that he had 3 enquiries for his hopper, one of them within four hours of the website finally hitting your screens. The Head Ax8-88 G-TIMX has also … [Read more...]
Issue 338: June 2015
Apologies from the webmaster this month for the delay in the appearance of the List, which was due to circumstances beyond his control. Normal service will be resumed next month... With only one complete 105 being notified as sold during May we can’t help feeling that some of you are holding back with your emails about what else has moved ..... Our annual round up of … [Read more...]
