Asking for any information regarding the above Propellor. At work today a Dutch collegue told me of prop his dad got from a crash site in Voorburg, Holland in WWII. It has the numbers 801629 on it’s base, it’s height is 171cms, max width 45 cms and diameter at base is 45cms. His dad thinks it might be off a Wellington. It was originally black but my collegue spray painted it as a kid!
Any ideas as to where to look for other markings or numbers? Am hoping that he might be able to narrow down exactly where and when it was found/acquired next time he speaks to his dad and I will post any further information as or when i hear.
With thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies! If i hear any more about how and where it was acquired i will let you know. In the meantime, I have just been told that it was originally a “blueish grey”. So i guess that points towards the He111 suggestion.

He 111 i would say
A more precize location would help narrowing it down to a particular aircraft. I agree it looks He111, but the only aircraft downed at Voorburg apparently were a Blenheim and Ju52. So how ‘near’ was ‘near Voorburg’?
