woa2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Try Joe Hirst at St.Mary Bourne near Andover, Hampshire 01264 738278. He had a load a few years ago. He is a Govt surplus and scrap dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Jack, Try Ramco, http://www.ramco.co.uk Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yes, tell us, tell us, TELL US! please. If I did, I'd have to kill you....and Jack would then have to kill me. Net result: space taken up in the clubhouse mortuary. Messy. MB (:cool2:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks Robert and Chris but no luck there! Yes it is for an airstrip for P51's..........:coffee: :cool2: And please no killing of Snapper - it would be frowned upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Jack, S/H at £20 x 5,000 = £100,000! S/H in large quantity ought to be well under £10. But for that quantity you need to be talking direct to the manufacturers. Other dealers are Jackson or more likely Leavesley at Alrewas. Try Mabey & Johnson (the makers of Bailey bridging). They know that market and will be able to put you in touch with the right people I'm sure. Tel 01189 403921. If you buy new it will have a substantial resale value too. You could be selling it on HMVF for decades to come!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Is it for a one-off job or ongoing use? What about hiring in including installation? (if landing a valuable plane it is as well to have some come-back on the installers if anything unfortunate happens) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The other people worth trying for a contact for psp would be Eve Trakway, one of the largest portable roadway companies. They must know where to get a load if they do not have it. www.evetrakway.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 may sound daft but what about Duxford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sounds like it will be cheaper to lay concrete and then rip it up. What about a woven geo textile? they have improved remarkably nowadays. Bearing in mind a lot of WW2 aircraft were grass strip capable, maybe choose another feild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks guys will give them all a call tomorrow. And seriously - it really is to recreate a WW2 airstrip for.......332nd Fighter Group :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 hi Jack, Try these people, the advert is old, found it on a website, but company is still going and supply anything to do with aircraft and ground handling. The UK address is out of date, go to www.britishinternational.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks guys will give them all a call tomorrow.
