Gipsy Queen and Leonides Engine Stands Needed

Hi, I’m currently trying to track down any Gipsy Queen or Alvis Leonides engine stands that may be available. Anyone know of any? I’m looking for one of each.

Thank you

You might want to try Alan House near Bucklebury, Reading. I know he has many Piston Provost bits.
Don’t know what the situation is here because as well as owning the flyable one XF597 (G-BKFW) he was also restoring XF836 (G-AWRY).
This restoration has been on going for many years.
He did also have a couple of ex Irish air corps hulks lying around.

Hi, a slight update to this. Still after the engine stands, however we’re now also looking for a Leonides 126 (ideally) or 127, and any and all parts thereof. Ideally an old unused overhauled unit, but we’ll take whatever we can get, within reason……Propeller unit as well for a Piston Provost, and, again, parts thereof. Anyone know of anything available?

Thank you.
