I have always heard it as Grob rhyming with rob.
The Twins are always in their element when it is really stoking.
Reminds me of the time Ron Newell and I where watching some finishes at an
inter-services once and I asked him about the Astir CS compared to the STD
Cirrus, that he had a share in with my Dad, anyone remember "Cirrus 10"?
Anyway he told me to listen to an Astir and how loud it was crossing the
line, he then said, "it takes a lot of wasted energy to make that much
noise". I flew Bicester's Astir CS, remember "316", I could get it to climb
pretty well, did out climb my Dad who was it an ASW-20, remember "27", then
he ran off and left me in a glide over to Little Rissy.
Those were the days!!

I hear most people pronounce Grob with a B on the end. But I dont think
it is actually a B but rather an esset which is a letter in german that
looks like a B but is pronounced as a hard S. So Grob should really be
pronouced Gross.
