Its not from a Puma, (fold up seat) Wessex or Whirlwind though a Belvedere may have had one. More likely a trappers seat from a transport aircraft, the style is similar to fifties trend, any Varsity, Valetta, Pembroke folks here?

"In 1933, Rumbold set up his business making aircraft interiors for the Hatfield-based De Havilland Aircraft company. Rumbold's fledgling outfit has since gone through a variety of incarnations and is now better known – albeit only marginally – as Contour Premium Aircraft Seating. Britax-owned Contour has, in its time, provided aircraft seats to British Caledonian and British Airways, Air France and Air New Zealand, Gulf Air and yes, you've guessed it, the Sheikh's own airline, Emirates."
