Well the idea to build a Gloster Grebe (in particular NZ501) seems to be growing legs. In the last week I have had so much information and support that I think that the project is very doable. However, still missing parts of the puzzle, such as an engine (funny that, that is important). Also looking for any photos that show the underneath, top and forward of the pilots seat.
I have to say, that the contacts I have made on here have been super helpful. Gentlemen I am in grateful gratitude to you.
Regards
Stephen

To follow up on this, for those of you who are not aware of what Stephen is attempting to do, he has a Facebook page, through which he is making contacts in the hope of fulfilling his proposal to build a replica of NZ501. Here is the page. If you're on FB it is worth keeping tabs on. It's early days, but much is being discussed and revealed about the humble wee Grebe as a species... www.facebook.com/groups/347963671009520Grebe NZ501.

Thank you Grant for the post.
As you know, I've managed to get some plans for a Watts Propeller out of Australia. Though for a slightly different application, the propeller was for a Jaguar-engined aircraft. All I need to do now is see if the RNZAF Museum propeller is the same.
Exciting days ahead
