The aerofoils are hybrid, derived from first principles and hence unique.  If 
you
wish to do your own analysis I suggest you ask Europa Aircraft for the external
profile - David Stanbridge recently made an offer to share their 3D scanned
data of the Europa OML.

Please bear in mind that the section changes root to tip, hence intermediate 
wing
rib coordinate stations are needed to correctly simulate the wing.

Some online CAD models of the Europa exists, however, I would be cautious of 
using
them as their accuracy is quite poor.

FYI

I was fortunate to work at BAe Hatfield under Don Dykins for a short time during
my apprenticeship (moving on to the stress office as a career).  The only other
claim I have to have known him personally was that he had the same preference
for cars as myself - he brought a Ford Capri 2.8i I had owned.
