Fabric Control Surfaces

I've noticed that a lot of aircraft built in the later war years and maybe post-war when technology had made huge leaps continued to be built with fabric covered elevators and rudders. Examples that spring to mind include DC-3/C47, Hawker Tempest, Winjeel (I think). Can anyone shed some light on the reasons for me?
Cheers
