Dead Chipmunk engine, anyone?
 
There aren't many places where one can go around asking this particular question so I hope it is alright on here...

Does anyone have a dead Chippie engine that could be dropped into a Museum aircraft in the UK? We have the exhaust, engine bearers and a prop to sit inside the cowlings but a full engine would be a bonus. It wouldn't matter how stuffed it was, so long as it would hold the necessary parts in place that the cowlings could be left open.

Thanks.

Try Parkhouse Aviation on google; Barry had a lot of Gypsy stuff.

I know of a possible one overseas , which I will go and see in the New Year - which Museum would it be for?

Both Vintech and Deltair service Gipsy engines. Could be worth talking to either of them.
