I've had a look at Grob's web site. The b at the end

Therefore you should pronounce Grob almost exactly
as you would in English, with a short 'o' sound. It
is not Grobe or Gross!
The old Grob Twin Astir acquired the nickname of 'The
Concrete Swan' in the UK.

That was it! Concrete or lead, I've had many great flights in the 102
and 103.

The CS on the 102 definitely stood for Concrete Swan

A very happy Astir owner, well ex now but I loved her whilst I had her.

Is it 'Grow'b?
Is it 'graw'b?


I've heard it pronounced 'led swan'
