Question re covers for aircraft.

A friend has asked me to pose a question on the forum.

He is presently looking at getting an out doors cover for his aircraft and is wondering if anyone has feedback on either Bruce’s Custom Covers or Cambria Covers.

Any comments on which is the better of the two?

Any comments gratefully recieved

Regards Martin

Hard to tell which is best if you haven’t sampled both.

My 2p? The Cambrai covers for the Yak I part owned where perfect.

Yes we had Cambrai on the Yak. Couldn’t fault them.

I think they used to be based here in Suffolk but I seem to recall they have moved to somewhere heathen.

Langtoft near Scarborough – look out for the 2cv permanently parked by the high street!

Martin – the Beech has a full set of Cambrai covers and wore them outside for 2 years with minimal problems – you should have come over to the SRA Hangar on the Brunters day!

Expensive but worth it – IIRC TFC use them

What popping over to the SRA Hanger would have been expensive? Geez no wonder they put you guys out in the middle of no where. 😮

It seemed such a long way in the driving rain though Ben.

We got as far as the Deloreon early in the morning when the hanger was shut up.

After that the order of the day was drive the car as near to the action as possible sit in it and wait untill something happened, then once aformentioned action had ended resume sitting in the car with heater on max. :p

Im possibly over at Brunty this sat if your around I will pop in.

I had 2 Canberra covers made by Cambria Covers

Its actually Cambrai Covers! Here is a recent example of their excellent work.

My reply pretty much the same as scorpions’! Cambria Covers are fantastic, relatively light weight, weather proof in any extremes, quick fastening (perfect if it just about to p**s it down), and tailor made to the aircraft, not a one size fits all, because invariably it doesn’t.

I had 2 Canberra covers made by Cambria Covers, one for WK163 at Coventry and one I took out to Temora for WJ680, both are still working well at opposite ends of the weather spectrum!! Fully water proof and very good at keeping the summer heat out in Oz.
