Irvin/Martin Baker Parachute re-packing

You sound like you’ve done a few Dave – fancy one more for old time’s sake? 😀

If i was bit nearer i’de help. I’de recomend the SES services place. Dell Hall who runs it is very helpfull & has ANYTHING to do with safety equipment & facilities for servicing it all,
Dave

Tried but no answer so far 🙁

Can you PM me the number again Nige, want to check I’m even dialling the right number 😀

Thanks for your input Rich, much appreciated.

I have a few good leads now so will start ringing around – looks daunting but it seems there are still a crazy few out there willing to attempt the seemingly impossible and fit what looks like 300 square feet of silk into a backside sized pack!

rather them than me 😮

Parachute repacking

Give these guys a call;

www.survival-eq-services.com

They’re a small company of ex-RAF parachute riggers / survival equipment specialists & have the know-how & parts to do the job. I’ve used them several times in the past & can thoroughly recommend them. Don’t be put off by the fact that the website is geared towards “live” equipment, they’re more than happy to overhaul equipment for display uses too.

Hope this helps

Rich

No problem. Good luck…the natives will be friendly!

good idea!

Aah, now that’s a grand idea! As a service engineer I drive through Talgarth quite often, I may just have to divert on my next call 😀

Thanks very much for your input, much appreciated

Your local gliding club (Talgarth??) will have someone who repacks parachutes regularly..you could give them a ring for advice or a name?
