A3 photo scanning services

Does anyone know of a place that can scan an A3 black and white photo to high resolution?

All our local places only do up to A4.
 
Try graphics specialists. They will do high quality prints for artists. Locally there are several I would be contacting, but I don't suppose you are anywhere near the North of Scotland.

Hi - I could do this for you if you are able to post the image to me. Alternatively, if you are anywhere near Milton Keynes you could drop it off in person.

Please PM if interested :)

Have you considered scanning the A3 as two A4s and then merging them in your photo editor ? Hardly a difficult operation as it just involves moving one of the pictures and probably a tiny rotation.
 
The places that work for architects and graphic artists should (should!) have a good A3 scanner. Find one where the operator knows what they are doing in terms of resolution and "weight" and format of the resulting file. Make sure the scanner is perfectly clean, specks of dust that do not show when they scan a document or diagram certainly will on a photo with large areas of grey or black.
 
P.S. The kind of place I mean is where architects go to have their drawings printed out, on big things they call "plotters."
 
A reprographic house is what you need, there used to be loads around but a lot died off with the advent of digital. Worth a Google to see if there are any still in your area though.
 
Thank you for the suggestions. And Lefty, thank you for your kind offer.

I’ll try 406v6’s suggestion first and after I’ve cocked that up will move through the suggestions.

I have a fantastic head-on photo of my dear old Dad in the cockpit of a CF-100 at altitude that I want to duplicate before I have to pass it on to my brother.
