Prop blade identification

Hi
Can anyone tell me what aircraft this prop blade was fitted to?

Stencilled on it is the number RA 25772-2

Any help much appreciated.

Prop blades identity

The blades are definitely Rotol, RA standing for Rotol Airscrews. I’ve got a Firefly prop like this and the blades look similar, however the number on my blades is RA 10452 which, I’m fairly sure, is the part number.
This could fit with the late Firefly suggestion as these blades’ numbers are later than mine. The rotation is left hand which means Griffon or possibly Hercules.
Can you give me some dimensions, and, are they metal or wood?
Have you got the hub there as well?

Blade shape suggests either a De Havilland or Fairey Prop, a close look at the butt end I could narrow it down to one of the two. The stencilled ‘Q SET 0 35 FINE’ could possibly indicate a reversable pitch prop

I suspect a late Mk Firefly.

Have you got a complete set there? The blade shown in detail is the second blade as signified by the small no. 2 in the yellow circle. Just wondering if you have blades 1 to 4.

Dunno sorry, but the wheels in the back are interesting…?
