As you would expect, there has been plenty of action on the List during March as people prepare for the summer ‘season’. Cameron N-90 G-BZXR has found a home, as have the basket & burner on ‘Stop Press’ from Nick Dunnington, basket from Pete Dalby, CB599s from Zebedee together with the usual crop of smaller items. New for this month is the chance ‘to book’ a 2016 Cameron … [Read more...]

Regular viewers of our website will know that February saw a number of ‘Stop Press’ items posted mid month. These are now incorporated into this issue and include a complete UM H-31 Hopper with only 4 flights (G-reg but in Spain), a Cameron Z-275 envelope in Bristol and a little used 5.5hp ‘flip wheel’ fan. A number of other items including a complete Cameron C-90 and a 105 … [Read more...]

The new year has certainly seen a burst of activity on the balloon market. A combination of pilots packing for the Saudi Arabian meet, some new P u/ts and general preparation for what is hoped to be a better year for flying all contributed. Last year’s highly successful One-Man meet appears to be having a knock-on effect too with G-NLCH and G-BKVY being sold from the List - … [Read more...]

December was relatively quiet on all fronts, although John Rose reports having sold his 160 and Ian Jones has his restored basket reserved. At Zebedee the Shadow Single found a new home very quickly. Until 3rd January we had no new ads for the List but now pleased to say Sean Simington is offering a complete LBL35A Cloudhopper, also an aged Cameron C-60 envelope which he … [Read more...]

We have heard from Tony Brown that he has sold his Cameron A-140 complete during the month and that it will soon be on its way to Italy. New for December is the Cameron C90 which appeared in ‘Stop Press’ during November for sale by Claude Gouzerh in France. From Zebedee we have a lovely liquid pilot light Shadow single burner with new hoses and an adjustable height, … [Read more...]

Just as we went to press last month we heard that Gareth Gray had sold the J&B Bottle Special Shape envelope, whilst October saw the sale of baskets, burners and further items from ‘Other’. Two entries joined ‘Stop Press’ on the website during the month - one a really ‘top-line’ 2017 Cameron Z-42, G-CJUO with just 7 hours from Charles Desmet in Belgium - the other … [Read more...]

September proved a quiet month for sales from the List - two double burners and a couple of fans being the largest sales, supplemented by the usual crop of bits & pieces from the ‘Other’ section. New for October is a Cameron envelope with wheelchair basket. This has been added to the complete balloon section despite having no burner or tanks included, although the latter … [Read more...]

One long standing envelope in the List was sold during August along with the usual crop of smaller items. New for September is an attractive, relatively low houred Cameron N-90 envelope plus basket / burner (but no tanks), a price reduction for G-OINN the Ultramagic envelope and a genuine mass clear out of Arthur Street’s barn near Exeter. Rather than split his offerings … [Read more...]

July proved popular for trading with 2 envelopes, 3 fans and a trailer leaving the List - and Zebedee selling another trailer and a basket before they got into these pages. New for August is a long stored 1997 special shape, the last of the ‘J&B bottles’ to be built which would seem an attractive proposition for someone wanting a ‘shape’ with low hours. Moving from … [Read more...]

Following a few good ballooning days in early June and the successful Midlands Air Festival at Ragley Hall trading has taken an upturn of late. Two complete balloons sold from the List last month as did the usual crop of smaller items. Additions for July start with a tip-top complete Cameron A-140 with many extras including a bespoke 4-wheel trailer. Although 10 years old … [Read more...]

This issue has been produced slightly early in the hope it will appear on the website and drop through letterboxes ahead of the Midlands Air Festival at Ragley Hall, Alcester on June 4/5/6th. Organiser James McDonald and his team have worked hard to produce the first large open meet since Icicle 2020. Yes, there are/will be Covid restrictions, but let’s hope it goes down in … [Read more...]

Regrettably April was another month in which we received no new ads in readiness for this issue. Whilst it is understandable that most people are finding homes for their spare kit via social media for free, they are missing out on the worldwide reach of the Zebedee List and over 700 subscribers who get Zebedee News each month by email. This was demonstrated by a nice mail we … [Read more...]
