This black spinner for a 3 bladed prop looks Mosquito to me,can anyone who knows for sure please id it, we believe the hub below matches this spinner. Recently found in a scrapyard along with the other parts visible and a 2nd mysterious spinner……..ex RAF or RN stuff from the nearest airfields I suspect……thanks to all who reply!

Go with that
Yes, I’d go with that assessment.
I hadn’t noticed there was a second spinner and again, yes, Gannet is the one.

The second spinner looks like front one from a Gannet.
The exhaust stubbs are early Shackleton(Griffon).
So is the Cowling panel.

Parts i/d
Prop hub looks like Shackleton (Griffon) front hub.
Spinner likewise, though there are some detail differences to ones I have in my possession.
There’s a Dowty hydraulic pump and the mushroom shaped part is a junk head from an early Hercules engine.
The exh stubs I have seen before and I think were the subject of an i/d parade on this Forum before. I think the verdict was Allison or Sabre engine.
The cowling side panel with the exhaust-type baffles could be Lincoln.
