I'm looking for a source of parts for a DeHaviland Gipsy Queen 30-2. This engine has been chosen to power a recent-build Fokker D.VII replica and needs overhaul. Any contacts, ideas or suggestions are welcome. Contact me at Ratch4@yahoo.com or call my cell# (979)203-1571 thanks, Doug Ratchford, aka Canso42. |

G'Day Doug, Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I was busy writing up about some other DH product! Sorry I can't advise in any particular direction on Gypsy sources, but here's a couple of thoughts of people essential to talk to: The DH Moth Club de Havilland Support Ltd. They are the start point for global networks; I presume there's US elements that would be the next tier equivalents. And it's 'de Havilland' not 'DeHaviland' (lower case 'd' unless in the abbreviation, 'DH'; space after 'de' and double 'l') and it's Gipsy, not Gypsy! [EDIT: As Andrew's rightly corrected me!] I mention this as they're all relevant for effective searches. Best, |

Thanks James, I always have to look at the correct spelling of de Haviland, but 'Gipsy' was made clear several years ago when I was networking here while involved with Lone Star's Tiger Moth. One of my first leads I checked was to the dh moth club in the UK since I'd kept that contact available. The best lead so far is from that network too, which isn't surprising. |

Looks like we both got one right! We're a team...  On topic, I'd suggest you might want to see if you can get into a US Gipsy network, for more local benefit. Sorry I can't help there. Regards, |

I know that Dave Watson at Santa Paula does Gipsy Major parts, he may be worth contacting to see if has any leads on Gipsy Queens http://www.splitpinengineering.com/ Other than that, Happy Miles operates a Heron which Was at Reno but is in Oregon now, and does I believe have several spare engines http://replacedc.org/heron.htm |
