Did Vintage Aero Fabrics pack up?
Hey All,
I've checked the website for about a week now. Looks MIA.  Anyone have any news? Dan S |

Hi all,
Dan, I believe Ross Walton sold all of his inventory to Vintage Aviator and has said goodbye. Best, Dave |

This is purely from a faulty memory but I think that the Smithsonian used linen from a company called Bookmakers in Maryland when they covered Smith IV.

I know who has a roll or two but I don't think he will sell because its for his plane.

Hey Butch,
I'll check them out, thanks.  Hey Laserlloyd, Thanks, but I was just trying to do some price shopping, you know, ease into the sticker shock. I'm not even sure of the quantity I need yet. So if your friend still has that linen when I'm ready...  Dan S |

I know the Vintage Aero Fabrics is getting out of the business. Last july, they sold off the last of their unbleached linen.
They are also out of the 4 color lozenge, so I had to buy 5 color lozenge for my plane. I bought enough to cover my whole plane, and it just arrived yesterday. The email exchange I had with Barry, there isn't much left to buy.... so If it is the five color you want, hurry. I think they were the last distributor of aviation linen in the US.
