We probably have the largest privately owned collection of Rolls Royce Gem engines available anywhere. These engines powered the famous Lynx helicopters. We can provide engines “as removed” from service right up to a fully working turnkey solution. All engines can be seen running on our custom built test frame.
We can also custom build Gem engine stands, fuel tanks, starters and control panels and have a full range of instruments available.
Prices range from £5000 to £25,000.
