Parachute

[PeterW]

I've got 3 going spare - still as received from RAF stock. (Officially scrapped so not suitable as parachutes....!!! :yikes: )

They are Dark green, with 2 vents. About 25ft accross, and all rigging lines have been removed up to the last 6-8 inches.

They owe me about £20 each, plus postage at cost, or you can pick them up from Nottingham / Derby area.

Cheers

Peter

PS - Although not officially waterproof, we have used them successfully as a rain shelter for about 18-24 people.

I restarted this thread before the Great Crash, and I was after a canopy for around £30. I seem to remember that MBM was also after one, along with a few others. Has anyone got any idea where I can get hold of an olive green canopy?

Cheers

[Tony]

I'm going to try and get hold of a few tomorrow, they're going to be about £35 if anyone's interested

 

[Toddy]

Tony what size do these come in at? Is it likely that I will be able to get hold of a large white one? Big project in the offing and we need shelter for 7 folk working with the public making hurdle type panels; a kit roundhouse really that needs a roof. I've got a budget available for materials but I'd like to stretch it as much as possible.
Cheers,
Toddy

 

[Tony]

Sorry, I didn't get the chance to see if they had any, there's a chance that I could get some to the bcuk meet up next month.

Sorry, no big white ones they would probably be the French ones, they're a good size but I doubt that you'd get seven hurdles being made under them....I'll keep you guys informed as to when I get some, I'll probably try and get 4 or so.

I bought one the other day but I'm probably going to send it back, its got a couple of big ventilation panels in there which I don't really want and its turquoise and not olive, so a bit bright for my liking.

i am looking for a couple of cheap shutes. if anyone knows of any could they please pm me. They need to be green though

 

[Tony]

What's cheap mate?

 

[tomtom]

surplus and adventure have them in stock for around £50 if your willing to risk their crappy service record! at least they couldnt send the wrong size parachute.. could they?

 

[Tony]

As I said before, I cen get them for £35, but it won't be as quick as getting them yourself.

Any idea when Tony? I'm still looking for one at the mo

 

[Lithril]

Tone, if you can get one by Reading I'll have one please, I'm going to send this one back later.

 

[Tony]

That's the plan, there's people coming to the May meet up near Reading that can bring some with them. So, end of May. I'll try and get a good number of them.

Definately put me down for one at the end of May then, if I can't get to the meet myself

 

[Wayne]

Tony if you can get me 1 green for Reading that would be great.

 

[tomtom]

if a lot of people want one why dont you guys look at getting a bunch direct from the military?
