Is there a UK firm that can make canopies?
A friend carelessly upended his Tipsy Nipper a while back while force landing and this broke the canopy. Unfortunately, Nipper canopies are the proverbial rocking horse doo-doo and he's had no luck in sourcing a replacement.
Does anyone know of anyone that could make a Nipper canopy, ideally without charging daft prices? (There's Mecaplex in Switzerland, but I don't think they come cheap). |

Even if it's not in the UK, it might be worth looking at Raymond's Aircraft Restoration

You could try here - Plastics 4 Performance - Polycarbonate motorsport windows, mudflaps and accessories
They primarily make stuff for motorsport applications, but I have seen bespoke one piece canopies when I have been in their workshops. UK based so no harm in making a call to ask. |
Try `Historic` thread on `Flypast ` website..Someone will know someone...

Many thanks all, I'll let him know.
