Uniform Hire for Goodwood Revival ...

[The Wiz]

Looking for a US / RAF uniform for the revival. Any recommendations (I'm in Bournemouth)?

If you fancy a trip along the coast to Southsea (Portsmouth) there is a fantastic shop called Sabre Sales:


Sabre Sales
85-87, Castle Rd, Southsea, Hampshire PO5 3AY
Tel: [phone]

www.sabresales.co.uk/

Hires out all sorts of genuine uniforms and is also completely mad! It's quite an experience! The guy you want to speak to is Nick (or, 'the Mad Man').

Will probably cost you about 25 - 40 quid, but i normally buy, not hire.

The Wiz there is a place in Charminster not far from the Honda garage near cemetary junction.


If you coming from Cemetary junction you will come up to the Honda garage on your left hand side take the next right (Stewart Road) and go along that road and carry on straight. The shop is on the corner of Bennett Road. You'll see it easily!

The shop is opposite an RS Turbo repair/breakers place.

I've never used it but i've walked past it often enough

RAF uniform is cheap as chips on ebay. The most expensive part is the hat. When I get home I will see what I can fine on ther for you.

Thanks for the suggestions ... I'll give that one in Charminster a go.
