A slightly strange request

[Andy Dawson]

A mate of mine is in need of a couple of drogue parachutes. They will be used to slow down a bungee rope being used in a 4000 foot drop . The rope is to be cut and the jumper will then parachute down, the 'chutes will stop the rebounding rope from hitting the balloon (just in case you were wondering).

If any knows of a source for this item (he has already tried EBay and Army surplus stores) please contact me as soon as possible. They will need to be in Oxford by next Tuesday (27th Nov) as he flies out on the Thursday.

Thanks for your help.
