Hello folks, I got the hospital results back today. It is a lymphoma but it's a low-grade one and perfectly treatable, so seems like good news!! Ta jc

Hopefully Jon, that does sound as positive as it could!

They are very old school, which in my mind for this sort of thing is exactly what you need. They've done a few jobs for me over the years and have always been really good, and always listen to the problem when it's a bit out of the norm. If you do talk to them, tell them that unlike a normal prop it rotates at engine speed and needs balancing as such.

Nice one. Its a hit! Their website shows a Siddeley straight six! I was driven around in a clapped-out 1935 Sapphire as a toddler in the 60's complete with preselector gears. Very good point about the engine speed. Why on earth didn't I think of that?? Cheers again for all that!!
