Piston Provost Prop Spinner Back Plate

We’ve got DH ones on the shelf here in NZ, if you want one do you know anyone down here for the Omaka airshow who could collect it?

I thought ZK-JOT was the former WV666 that had the landing accident in the UK in the late 90s, having been ex St Athan and a spell out in the British Virgin Is in the 80s

Stan,

Does ‘JOT have a de-H or a Rotol prop?

Anon.

Devon spinner fitted to Piston Provost ZK-JOT ( Alan House’s –ex Finningly.)

It’s a bit of a funny one this.

The spinner on the Provost looks exactly the same as those on the Pembroke/Prince family – and I suspect it is the same.

As Merlin Pete says, the prop is Rotol, but the engine and cowling is (more or less) the same as the Prince/Pembroke and I suspect that the de-H spinner is capable of being fitted to the Rotol prop. I haven’t been able to confirm this but I do believe it to be the case.

I am also led to believe that some of the Provost aircraft had the de-H prop fitted (I think Varsity’s may be so), which only lends credence to my suspicion that, in order to provide commonality between installations, that the spinner/backplate will fit both makes of props.

Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Anon.

Doubtful, the Piston Provost has a Rotol prop, unless some were fitted with the DH?
