Miniature DH Goblin turbine
I noticed on http://www.modelenginenews.org/ , reports of John Heeley's quarter scale De Havilland Goblin H1 gas turbine, which is reported to be a runner that is still just in its early stages of testing.
Anyone know where to buy a copy of the Model Engineering mag in question ? I'd like to read more on this.
BTW, there are also many other amazing home-made engines described on the site – see http://www.modelenginenews.org/galle...rts/index.html for a huge range of cool stuff from just ONE guy.

I have that issue of Model Engineer with the Goblin article. I will dig it out and scan it if you want.

If there are any follow-up articles on it, I'd love to hear about them too.
Thanks,

Well I have not only seen this engine and met John Heeley a couple of times, I have seen some of his earlier work, particularly his Bentley rotary. The Goblin is an amazing piece of work. He has given a couple of evening lectures at our local model club. He has had it running quite a lot since it appeared in the magazine.
Apparently he ran it up in the kitchen with the exhaust pointing out of the kitchen door and down the garden path.

I have not come across any other articles on this great engine.
