Ideas for building our own field

I think that's probably a little out of the league. Finding scrap aircraft is hard in the UK, not like the US, and transporting it if you do find one is even harder. Especially since he says there is no vehicle access to the site.

Easier than you think, though the official disposals price is circa £150,000 for a scrap helicopter but they do find their way to scrap yards at prices that are more realistic around scrap value, and of course still need to get moved around on a flatbed 

Certain scrap yards will pick them up and sit on them for collectors and airsoft or paintball

sites etc

For airsoft, I would think that it would be a lot easier - and a lot cheaper - designing and building an "aircraft wreckage" from plywood and scrap metal. Genuine scrap aircraft for those purposes often won't look the part anyway, since the gauges, seats and avionics are often the first bits to be refurbished and sold.

But I think we're starting to go on a bit of a tangent  He was wondering about using a field for airsoft, and we've got to the point of set design and £150k helicopters hahahaa
