Where are you? I can make a suggestion but if you're ooop north, for example, it probably wouldn't be that useful. PM sent.

some years ago there was a local guy who came to a Gloster strut meeting and gave a talk about making seats, doing upholstery on aircraft, I think he had done a number of Europas. Maybe Harry Hopkins knows if he is still around or has records of who it was.

I used an upholsterer based in Newbury. His main work is for the vintage/classic car market, but he did a superb job making a new seat for my Vagabond.
Can send contact details if required.

Could I suggest Phil Gould of Concept Trimming?

He is a Good Guy. Made some great Cusions for my Escapade.
