Can anyone help with shipping a Gipsy engine from the USA

Hi,

Can anyone help please, I have been given a Gipsy Six or Queen engine ( my friend isnt exactly sure which one) for the Comet project which I need to get back from Connecticut in the USA. I have been in touch with a shippers who have messed me about for about 4 months now but dont reply any more and I think they must have gone bust!!.

My friend wants me to get the engine moved ASAP now as he is moving in the new year and I wonder if anyone has any contacts. I have contacted other shipping companies on the web through a Google search but the majority dont reply and its either too expensive or too small for those who do. Its all crated up etc ready to shift so can anyone help?

Thanks

Ken

Ken,

Send me a PM; Once Christmas is out of the way, I’ll sort it out for you.

Hi Ken,
Just a thought…have you tried contacting any of the companies at Duxford (or any other simiar operation)? They have aircraft shipped back and forth and may be able to point you in the direction of someone they use or if you are lucky you may be able to be included in their next shipment.

Good luck
