Hello, Can anyone help me find a 3 blade propeller off a Dove either to let me have or just to borrow to measure up, or just a single blade would be ok if thats available.
Thanks
Ken

There’s a prop taken off the former BoB MF support aircraft (DH Devon VP981) up for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ex-BBMF-de-Havilland-DH-Dove-Devon-Aircraft-3-Blade-Prop-Propeller-WITH-Spinner-/130582763090?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item1e6756d652#ht_1971wt_838
Trouble is, from your point of view, that the vendor wants £3,000 for it – don’t know if your pockets are that deep! (Vendor is located in Selby, North Yorkshire)
Even if you don’t fancy buying it, might be worth contacting the vendor to ask if you can get “up close and personal” and view the prop, taking along your tape measure…

Dove prop
Ken, I’ve got a Devon blade you can borrow, if that’s any use to you?
I think, though, the Devon had slightly longer blades than the Dove. Does this matter?
