Hi Guys

Thank you very much for your response's, they have beeen very helpful.

I guess not unlesss you are prepared to write off a lot of money a commercial recover job is not on the cards for an Auster.

Although I am a Licensed Aircraft Engineer, I have not really been involved with fabricing before, I think I doped some fabric tape on a Herald once, (showing my age a bit!). Will certainly try to get to the G-VFWE at Kemble as I am off shift that weekend.

I can recommend the Auster club to anyone with a passing interest in Austers, the magazine is always a good read.

One last thing which made me smile. I checked out the Light Aero Spares website and noted that ceconite is sold in 70'' widths and different imperial weights but you have to buy it in metres!
