The following notice will appear in the next issue of WW1 AERO (May 2006):

----------------------------
----------------------------
MISSING 160 h.p. GNOME
As of the date of this notice, 22 Feb 2006, a very rare GNOME ROTARY ENGINE (crankcase S/N B11559, cam housing S/N 55015N, cheek plate S/N 11370) has been missing from the Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum for nearly one month. It seems unlikely it was stolen as there was no forced entry into the locked carriage house where it was stored. To arrange for its return or to provide information leading to its recovery please contact WW1 AERO.
----------------------------
----------------------------

Let's hope it is recovered. WW1 AERO may be contacted about the engine by calling Leo Opdycke at (845) 473-3679 or by contacting me at cfg@carrollgray.com
