Well, what an amazing month! Many new ads have come in during October, a number going on ‘Stop Press’ as they came in, the rest fresh for you here …….. These include types Ultramagic H31, Cameron C-80, Ultramagic M-90 as complete balloons and an all Ultralast Ultramagic M-105 envelope. Most other sections of the List have seen changes - sales & additions, making it a ‘must … [Read more...]

Issue 438: October 2023
After the flurry of last minute list entries / changes last month things seem to have settled down. A couple of entries appeared briefly on ‘Stop Press’ and made the web version, but missed the print version which had already gone to the printers. Additions this month include Annexe 1 Thunder Chariot G-NEIL envelope (which has a bottom end already advertised), a ‘dead’ 250 … [Read more...]
Issue 437: September 2023
It is good to report some successful sales during August. Gone are the Guinea Pig special shape G-GPIG, Alison’s G-PHSE, the envelope only of G-BWUU with another Zebedee envelope away ‘on appro’ at the time of writing. Once again a whole host of balloons and equipment move over from ‘Stop Press’ to the main List this issue including complete examples of 31, 77, 90 and 105 … [Read more...]
Issue 436: August 2023
Although the only new additions for the Zebedee List this month come from ‘Stop Press’, there have been many price reductions and changes - and deletions where items have been sold - that we feel the List has ‘bounced back’ after a few disappointingly quiet issues. Zebedee has added a few lesser items - flying suits, a couple of fan cage ‘halves’ and two David Clark … [Read more...]
Issue 435: July 2023
June trading at Zebedee continued busy after the Midlands Air Festival right to the end with our baskets for sale list now shrunk to only two, whilst ‘booked’ are two of the older envelopes that have been advertised in these pages. Alan Hall has also sold his Kubicek envelope. We have now updated our burners list, dominated by Colt C2 Doubles, with three ready to go with … [Read more...]
Issue 434: June 2023
Our apologies for the June issue being so late to appear - mainly due to the very busy run up to the Midlands Air Festival last weekend, where we had a multitude of bits & pieces to deliver including the last minute construction of an “elephant bag”! Meanwhile the “old elephant” listed last month sold very quickly as have a number of older inhabitants of the List. For … [Read more...]
Issue 433: May 2023
One of Kim’s complete balloons has been sold and we hear that one of the 90s in the List is under negotiation. Stuart Seager reports the sale of his tank manifolds, whilst Zebedee has reduced its stock of baskets by 4 (plus a fan) during the month ….. New on ‘Stop Press’ this week is G-BOLN an aged Colt 21A Cloudhopper envelope from Glen Everett with low hours but from the … [Read more...]
Issue 432: April 2023
March saw many smaller items sold, but no envelopes from the List. For April Peter Kenington’s lovely complete Cameron C-80 moves from ‘Stop Press’ into the main text whilst Alan Hall’s Kubicek 90 (BB26) envelope, which has only just joined ‘Stop Press’ does the same. Zebedee has reduced the price on several baskets and one in-stock trailer whilst Mike Scholes & … [Read more...]
Issue 431: March 2023
As is usual for this time of year, the market for balloons and equipment is gearing up for the summer, particularly as 2023 is a “Metz Year”. No envelope sales have filtered through to the List yet, although one complete balloon and Transporter went within days off ‘Stop Press’ and several smaller items including a radio, quick release, fan, basket and several old burner … [Read more...]
Issue 430: February 2023
Although no complete balloons or envelopes are known to have sold from the List during January, plenty of activity has been reported on baskets, burners, fans and tanks. The last mentioned including some from David Hartland that only lasted a couple of days on ‘Stop Press’. As promised last month, Zebedee has sorted more items for sale, concentrating on baskets & fans … [Read more...]
Issue 429: January 2023
We are pleased to report that Kim Hull has quickly sold his ‘Adventure Balloons’ rides company. Kim has worked tirelessly for many years building up a varied selection of flight venues mainly in the South-East and is the one operator to negotiate summer only London flights from Hyde Park. A second rides balloon LBL-360A G-LLGE is now up for sale, not being part of the company … [Read more...]

Just one envelope (Cameron O-77 G-BWYN) is notified as sold during November, whilst several items are ‘reserved’ at Zebedee awaiting collection. 2 new complete balloons join the List this issue - a Kubicek 140 (BB40Z) and a Cameron Z350, as well as a trio of 60L Cameron CB2380S Titanium cylinders and a T&C 77 size basket.
