Gloster Grebe   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The Grebe was very agile, but suffered from wing flutter, which lead to all RAF aircraft being modified with additional wing struts. Grebes were retired from the RAF in 1929, replaced in part by the Gloster Gamecock which was in essence a developed Grebe, (Gloster fighter design, from Nighthawk to Gloster Gladiator was essentially evolutionary). A single Grebe was gifted to New Zealand by Sir Henry Wigram, and subsequently another two Grebes were acquired by the New Zealand Permanent Air Force, fore-runner of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, where they served until the mid 1930s. oldbeacon.com /gallery/davis/davis-3.htm   (197 words)

Gloster Aircraft Co The Gloster III A was second in the Trophy in 1925. The Gloster VI named the “Golden Arrow” was the first Gloster monoplane and broke the World speed record at 336.31mph on September 10th 1929.

Gloster Aircraft Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The company produced the Gloster Grebe; Gloster Gladiator; Hawker Hurricane; Hawker Typhoon; Gloster Meteor and Gloster Javelin and its test runway became famous for the first flight of Sir Frank Whittle's turbo-jet aircraft. This formed the basis for the Gloster Meteor, the only jet to be used by the Allied Forces during World War II. In 1952 the two seat, delta-winged Gloster Javelin was developed as an all weather fighter that could fly above 50,000 feet at almost the speed of sound. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gloster   (745 words)

Gloster Grebe   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The Real Thing: The Grebe was designed after the first world war by H.P. Folland, perhaps best known for the Gnat jet used for many years by the Red Arrows. The Grebe first flew in 1923, and bore more than a passing resemblance to the wartime S.E.5, which was also designed by Folland. I really like the red and white checker boards of 56 squadron, but unfortunately they are not an option with the kit, so I made my own by cutting up solid red decal film into squares placed over a single long white oblong. www.jstokes99.freeserve.co.uk /Models/details/grebe.htm   (289 words)

Gloster Grebe - fighter In 1923 Gloster built a two-seat private-venture research aircraft which became known as the Grouse, to carry out flight evaluation of new and special biplane wings. The Grebe was found to have wing flutter problems, resulting in the addition of outward-sloping Vee struts to brace the overhang of the upper wing. Two Grebes were modified during 1926 with special release attachments on the top surface of the upper wing. avia.russian.ee /air/england/gloster_grebe.php   (221 words)

The Gloster Gladiator For its day, the Gloster Gladiator was not only pretty to look at, but was a beautiful aircraft to fly, providing that you were not being chased by a Messerschmitt Bf109 at the time. It was a derivative of the Gauntlet that the Gladiator was built, being a private venture to specification F.7/30 and first flew as a prototype on 12th September 1934 and then only known as the SS37. It began series production to Specification F.14/35 in July 1935 and the first flight of the Gloster Gladiator was made in the January of 1937. www.battleofbritain.net /0008.html   (1107 words)

Gloster Grebe J7530 - PPRuNe Forums I found three photographs of Gloster Grebes (at leats I think they are), two of them of the same aircraft, J-7530. I began to ponder whether or not the Grebe was in front-line service as late as 1930 (one has to do something crawling behind a lorry at 20mph on the A420). Neither 19 nor 29 were flying the Grebe in 1930, according to Jeff Jefford's RAF Squadrons - they'd moved on to Siskins by then. www.pprune.org /forums/showthread.php?t=251400   (1672 words)
