Cambrai covers

Hi Gaseous,

I think my advice to anybody with a set of covers is -

Never, ever put them on a dirty aircraft - all you'll do is make the nice soft white perspex-protecting lining grubby and laden with scratchy dust and grit - ugh!

If you dont have time to clean it down, best to leave the covers off until you have.

Also, if anybody accidentally allows the canopy cover to fall 'inside down' on the deck or just once put it on a dirty aircraft, it shouldn't be used until it has been washed.

Cambrai are a great company who can refurb older covers - incl. stitching in a replacement soft lining.

This may sound extreme until you take a look at my 5 year old transparencies - indistinguishable from brand new.

It really is worth doing. When the time comes to sell, I can't think of a better demonstration of care than to wow the prospective purchaser with 'as new' transparencies.

All of the products described are designed to put right something that should never have happened in the first place.

All the best

Hairy
