Hi Folks, An identification task for all you good folks out there. Firstly, can anybody tell me whether the propeller is from a Hastings, if not what aircraft is it from? Secondly, is this a tailplane from a Hastings? Both were recently taken from Christmas Island by a friend of mine and he would like to know.

Hastings on Christmas Island?
There was definitely a collection of RAF Hasting parts scattered around “Banana” village in the early 1990’s, including a spinner doing duty as a dog kennel.
It now is resident in Hawaii.
The wing structure appears to be from an Auster AOP9 which was used for spraying DDT to combat flies etc and which was discarded when UK relinquished the test site.

The prop looks a good candidate for a Hastings ( despite two blades being the wrong way round) but the wing structure insn’t.
