After the lull in November, last month saw the sale of two complete balloons, two envelopes and several bottom ends. Zebedee has had a run of sales on used quick releases (only new ones in stock at present) and drop lines (still more to go ....!) New for January is a Staffordshire 2.5m trailer and an old but complete T&C bottom end stored in France. Stuart Seager is … [Read more...]

Quite a few components, from baskets downwards changed hands in November, but as far as we can see, no envelopes. New for December are a complete low houred 31 Hopper, a 210 envelope in Germany, 2 good 90/105 bottom ends, a 3m Westfalia trailer, 8hp fan, 2 brand new UM 13hp fan props/hubs and a fuel filter set up to be added to any existing hose with Rego F exit … [Read more...]

The falling value of the UK pound since the Brexit referendum might make it more expensive for us to travel but it has certainly had an effect on sales to customers outside the UK. We have packed boxes / pallets for 7 overseas countries in the past two weeks. Packing for safe transit, at the same time keeping the package as small as possible to keep your transport costs as low … [Read more...]

Two of last month’s complete balloon new entries - G-CGIH and F-GYTT quickly found new homes during September, whilst a third sees a price reduction for October. Older ads for 77 and 90 envelopes also resulted in sales. New for October (but displayed on the web site ‘Stop Press’ for the last two weeks) is a stash of tanks and fans - and two 12 passenger Cameron bottom ends … [Read more...]

We have now heard from Allan Nimmo that he has now sold all but one envelope from his substantial list placed with Zebedee exactly a year ago. That is the very low houred Abu Dhabi and HSBC branded Cameron Z-120 G-OLFF. All his baskets / burners and other items have gone save for a few very small items listed herein. Also notified as sold during August were the N-90 OY-GOO, … [Read more...]

After the late production of the July List, this issue unsurprisingly has few additions. The Cameron C-90 G-CDOB moved quickly as suspected and Koen reports the sale of his Z-140, whilst we think the LBL260A G-VIZA has sold but await confirmation. As usual a number of smaller items have found new homes. The only envelope to join the List for August is Ted Dannerbo’s … [Read more...]

Our apologies for a late List this month - your scribes have both been travelling and business has been brisk! 5 envelopes and 2 complete balloons exit the List for July, along with a good selection of baskets, burners and smaller items in ‘Other’. In this month comes a complete UM MV-65C, 180 & 65/77 sized bottom ends, 5hp fan, bulk tank currently situated in … [Read more...]

Four envelopes appear in this issue, sizes 90, 120, 210 and 315, replacing a similar range & number either sold or withdrawn from sale from the May List, which included the nice complete Concept 80 G-BVEN. Also new for June are trailers, tanks, baskets, a 3m Westfalia, a good Ultramagic 105/120 bottom end and a number of fan parts - 8hp frame/wheels, 5hp engine/cage - … [Read more...]

Plenty of sales took place in April with both a complete 60 & 77 finding new homes together with 105 & 300 envelopes. Several of the items mentioned n the April Zebedee News also moved on quickly. New for May we have a complete Cameron Concept 80, complete Lindstrand 105A, Cameron 120 envelope and an exciting lightweight homebuilt ‘48’ from Austria. The 105A and 120 … [Read more...]

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...]

As would be expected this time of year, the market is busy. Out of this issue go four complete balloons and three envelopes ranging in size from a 31 to a 210. No new envelopes go in this time but Zebedee has had various items join our stock recently - a nice Cameron 90 basket & Mk4 Super double burner, a virtually new 13hp fan, an unused Lindstrand Hopper Tidy and a … [Read more...]

Joining the list this month is a complete 210 and 275 both being mainly Hyperlast fabric along with a 160 envelope from Belgium. At the same … [Read more...]
