I believe the Valiant Air Command museum in Titusville, Florida had a bunch of these at one point. You might try them. You should also try the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum in Hamilton, Ontario too...

Cheers,
Richard

Just come across a complete crated Cheetah engine last week. It has been gathering dust in a warehouse in Johannesburg for many years. Welcome to contact me.

There's an Allison V-1710 F10R 51 sitting next to it gathering dust as well.
