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. Our latest stock of Bonanno quick releases came … [Read more...]

The near new Cameron Z-77 envelope G-CIXR and Zebedee’s Westfalia trailer are in the process of being sold, whilst Cameron Z-90 GCCPT has been temporarily withdrawn from sale. Two stainless LBL 80L cylinders were added to ‘Stop Press’ during the month but … [Read more...]

Just as this intro was being written, news of 4 UK registered envelopes for sale in Sweden came in from Per Lesser. These are very welcome, especially as they include one man & 56 plus two special shapes, all built by Cameron or LBL. Other than the above, no new additions this month, although plenty of sales have taken place including the pretty TR-70 Racer envelope and … [Read more...]

August was a busy month here at Zebedee with repairs - lots of minor burns just above the Nomex in the hot days of August! Only one envelope leaves the List this month, a 275, although sales of tether ropes, fans, two trailers and the long advertised Peli case have kept the List changing. New for September are a ‘Dolly Trolley’, so useful on the odd occasion when … [Read more...]

July saw the sale of 56 & 70 sized envelopes from these pages. Also during the month G-READ which appeared in ‘Stop Press’ quickly found a home. Other items which joined ‘Stop Press’ last month have now been moved over to the main List including a very nice looking Cameron TR70 Racer envelope from Neil Gabriel together with his LBL 3m trailer - and another very low … [Read more...]

As expected most of the tanks for sale in the UK have been snapped up, despite prices being higher than we have seen before. The Alugas crisis appears to be going on until at least the end of 2022. Apart from tanks, June saw the sale of two envelopes, several burners & fans and Dick Sargeant’s custom ‘balloon bus’ - although the last mentioned not through these … [Read more...]

There was certainly lots of trading during May, culminating in the Midlands Air Festival at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire over the Jubilee Holiday weekend. This event, now established as the big event of the year, especially for private balloonists, enjoyed good weather for the first two days but wet & windy for the rest. Many pilots got three flights in nice countryside. Well … [Read more...]

The only ‘new’ ads going into the List this month are from Zebedee - that is if you are a reader who has kept up with several items and opportunities which have appeared on ‘Stop Press’ during April and which have now been absorbed into the May issue. These include baskets in Italy, a bespoke VW Multivan balloon vehicle in Switzerland, a complete Sky 220 in North West UK, a … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
