Question Flight Strip Holders

Afternoon all,

Up here at a (currently sunny) airfield in NW England we're still part of the paper flight strip brigade, but could do with some new plastic flight strip holders. Do any of you esteemed folks around the bazaars know of any, preferably UK-based, suppliers? I'm looking for the approximately 1" x 8" / 25 x 200 mm sized ones. The only place I can find so far is Hermieu International Supply.

Thanks in advance,
Ed

Leeds Bradford is still using paper strips AFAIK so may be worth getting in touch with the ATS gaffer there. They might be 3D printed nowadays.

Sitti, italian one , or ask Frrequentis they also have it - the sane manufacturer... They were professionall when we bought it 10-15 years ago...

I always wonder how many strips could be put in- i.e. what is the shelf time of strip holder.. 😜🥰 We still have some holders that are 40+ years old👍👌

When I needed to add more strip holders around 15 years ago I found a very helpful company in the UK which also began supplying our thermal rolls for the strip printer. I’ve just had a look for them but cannot find them on the internet anymore, I’m fairly sure some of the photos that Hermieu are using are photos I’ve seen before so maybe the FPS supplier is now involved with Hermieu. Never heard of Hermieu until now.

Get a sample strip before you place a large order as I did because I found one design (spring loaded and heavy things), although of the same measurements, was just slightly off and would not slide in the strip rack. The lighter ones far more user friendly and can be put in the dishwasher which we discovered during Covid!
