Hi, The canadian carriers rear seat backs and square bottom seat panels, were they ever painted?. I have an original seat back in 5 layer ply, stamped on the back with its part number, it shows no signs of ever being painted in olive drab or any other colour, would a quick coat of linseed oil surfice on my new panels.

I have another fact i have discovered during researching these seats is that some original wartime carrier shots show the, four lift the dots at the top of the seat others show five, i guess the 5 are were the opening if for filling with horse hair, any comments please.

i will try and get some pictures later today.
