Thanks David,
Finding early series Hercules engines would be difficult, even if needed for static display standard only, and the prop situation doesn't help either.
YAM and the Canadians have already scoured the world for props for their Halifax projects. The Moorabbin Museum has been looking for propblades for their Beau for years (don't know if they have succeeded yet).
Perhaps Hoffman (or Skycraft) could start to produce new ones, but the prizes would be astronomic I guess.
