Hi,

The following information comes from Anneorac in answer to a query I made to her some time ago.

RA10160 were used on R23/4B6/4 props fitted to Firebrand Mks. III, IV & V.

So what you’ve got there is a wooden Firebrand propeller.

Can’t help ID it i’m afraid but the number looks like late war. I’m sure someone can help. Where’s Anne?

Airscrew i/d

It’s a Rotol as evidenced by the RA = Rotol Airscrews.

J could stand for Jablo (covering).

The experts will be along soon to tell us exactly what the numbers mean.
