Levelling bumps on a grass airfield

Hi,
Might be coming into a windfall in a wee while, so anyone know of people who have successfully levelled ground for a grass airfield.
Looking at some substantial wokr, with ground level differences of up to 2ft over 200ft having to be levelled.
Needs more than a few handfulls of sand in the dips!
Have heard of some experiences, but would like to know as much as possible.
Concreting is not an option, the field is not boggy either, so no need for Perfo etc.
Soil is thin, undernearth is whinstone rock (can dig it with a JCB).
Thanks, XA
