RAF Lounge (Deck) Chairs...

[Zemke Fan]

Anyone one know where I can get my hands on some folding lounge chairs like those the RAF pilots used beside their Spits while they were waiting to scramble? I'm looking for something that will fit in when I'm at the Reading WWII weekend this June.

I will try to post some photos of what I'm interested in.

Where's that from, Nick?

Isn't it more this sort of thing

There are lots of UK and European sites that have them, but I couldn't find any US based dealers selling them.

Wow, that stuff looks reasonably priced and nice. I might need something from them for my Oriental Room. Thanks for the link.

How about a pic of the RAF pilots in the chairs? What are we replicating?

Salv, you've nailed what I was thinking about...

Would prefer something in a plain color, natural canvas would be my first choice. But the style is what I had in mind. Nick, thanks for pointing out the Safari Chair. I like it a lot, but like you can't seem to find out how it might be ordered outside Tanzania! (And Ashley, I think it's $35 Tanzanian!)

I need to search my books at home for a photo...

Unfortunately, I think most of the photos have the pilots IN the chairs and not the chairs empty, so it maybe be hard to get a shot of what I want.

Actually, Scott...

I'm a cabinet maker and a furniture maker. Just don't have the time anymore! (Although these WOULD be tempting...)

They surely would. A deck area is planned for my yard this summer, and these would work.

I like this chair, but can't find a way to buy the dumb thing.

Here are some from a seller in South Africa who has a Canadian agent for North American buyers

Scroll down about two thirds down this page for product details, and you can find contact details, including an email address for the Canadian agent on this page. No prices mentioned on the site.

I tried their contact page, but it generates an error...

Will try sending them an email when I get home tonight. Maybe we could order a container full...
