Certified riggers John Rix or George Jackman freelance at High Wycombe on the first Saturday of every month - or you can mail them your chutes. £25 a pop and they can handle all emergency chutes. Drop me a mail and I'll send you their contact details if you're interested.

Is that the same John Rix that worked for GQ Parachutes? If so he will know how to pack it. Seen him jump and pack most things. I remember dispatching him at 300'AGL testing a low opening canopy he helped design for the Mil. It worked by the way.
