Ritch & Max

You might have some luck if you contact Alan Howse at Brimpton Airfield, Berkshire. I’m pretty certain that he has a wealth of material for the Provost.

Hi R&M,

I cannot help you with the dimensions you are seeking, but looking at the photo reminds me that I have two of those seats if you need them.

To be precise, what I think I have are the AS standard design of seat which were then attached to individually designed subframes/mountings for use in many early postwar aeroplanes. I don’t have the seat frames, unfortunately, although I did pass a NOS one to a flyer/restorer many years ago.

Meant to mention this at Newark the other week but forgot all about it!
