I have today received a letter from a reader who found an old issue of ME that featured John Heeley's model DeHaviland Goblin jet engine. He and a friend who worked on the design of the Goblin were very impressed. ME Vol 200 No. 4372, 6 June 2008.

He asks if anyone knows the outcome of the model and whether or not it ran? Of necessity it was only expected to idle, given the material used.

I recall the article and it covered some exquisite work.Does anyone know anything more of this model?

.

I think they were used in the full size Vampire.?

A long standing friend of mine has a very nice 1/4 scale Vampire.

 

The other model aircraft in the background also belong to him. - He has many large models and a very, very tolerant and understanding wife. wink

New to this forum, and this is my very first post.

Replying to those who are interested in the model.

Please see the picture of the model in question. Link

Apparently, it's kept well as it was firstly made~
