Bristol Cherub – any in use?

There is an airworthy powered glider (I think that`s what it is) based at Hucknall with a Cherub. I let them have a carb for it a year or so ago.
I cannot give out the owners details on here, but I can pass a message and contact on to them if anyone wants to pm / e-mail me.

I understand that the Real Aeroplane Company still hope to fly the Swalesong Luton Minor G-AMAW with its Cherub one day, but sadly some key parts were taken away for restoration and subsequently ‘were lost track of’ some years ago.

I’m sure that anyone who stumbles across them would be welcomed with open arms by Taff Smith and his team.

It would be great to see, not to mention hear, a Cherub in action. I gather than it breaks all records in the proportion of noise produced in relation to power! :diablo:

BAC Drone G-AEDB has a Cherub engine although it hasn’t flown for some years. The late Mike Russell spent a long time looking for a Cherub for his DH 53 Humingbird G-EBQP, Which was gong to be made airworthy. But is now the De Havilland Aircraft heritage centre.
