Unless they have replaced it in the past few years, the story about the propeller being from the replica Spitfire is erroneous. Now I don’t actually know what it is from but I had always presumed it was a Hamilton Standard prop trawled up by a fishing boat, not an uncommon occurrence in the Firth of Clyde. A Corsair was trawled up and deposited in Ayr Harbour back in 1985 and I had presumed that the prop was from that. Another possibility is that it was from an Avenger which had its engine trawled up some time in the 1990s.
