Can anyone advise on the identification of different metal fixed-pitch Fairey Read props please? They come in a variety of lengths. I understand the Anson I uses one 88″ long but cannot recall where I read this! Can anyone list the different Fairey Reed props please (by length?) and the aircraft they fit?

Thanks Dave
That was just what I wanted.
Cheers

It’s probably worth having a browse through CAA CAP562 Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Inspection Procedures Leaflet 61-10, although it doesn’t give a full list of propellers produced it does have a good list for ‘current’ civil UK manufactured aircraft.

Given as being fitted to the following aircraft:
AUSTER 7 DH Gypsy Major 10
CHIPMUNK 1 DH Gypsy Major 1G
CHIPMUNK 2 DH Gypsy Major 10
Described as being a 2 bladed fixed pitched aluminium propeller, 6’9″

Thanks P&P
The drawing number for the Chipmunk prop seems to be: A66753/X1. No idea of the size

Cheetah IX ( Avro Anson I )
Dia 7′ 6″, Dwg 61271A, Serial FR21951
I have seen one for Chipmunk but don’t have the details.
Reed was a USAian so perhaps more details are available in the USA, did not Fairey obtain a licence from Reed?
