Old prop id?

All there was, was a number 2 on the hub. Would anyone by chance have a photo of the possible aircraft in question?

thanks very much for your help 🙂 🙂

This is an Oxford, (civilianised) but unfortunatley it’s fitted with Anson type Fairey Reed’s.

However it does illustrate the type and shows the 8 bolt hub and small prop diameter. I’m sure that the prop you have is off an Oxford.

Prop i’d

John Aeroclub is right – with the additional note that the later Anson Rotol’s (with wooden blades) were variable pitch – which the prop pictured definitely is not.

The Oxford used the Cheetah X (direct drive) with a fixed-pitch wooden prop and looking at this one it seems to be about the right size.

Is there any info on it? The application and/or part number/pitch & diameter were usually stamped on the hub or data plate somewhere.

Hi,

thanks for your correction John, I am still learning, did they both use the Cheetah ?

early Ansons used a metal Fairey Reed prop, later they were Rotol but Oxfords had wooden props.

Hi Lotusfeet,

I am sure folk’s with far more experience than myself will be along soon but I feel it look’s like the type fitted to Anson’s.
