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!! wrote in message oups.com... 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. |
