Propeller Identification help required!!

Hello all,

can anyone help with identifying a propeller blade?

i bought the blade off a restaurant owner in weymouth who had used it as decor – the blade is wooden (has been stripped of original covering) and is approx 6 ft tall.

The owner of the restauarant told me a customer had researched it and that it was off a Westland Wapiti troop carrying twin engined plane – i know this is incorrect as the Wapiti was a single engined biplane.

The blade has a handwritten label underneath stating that it was stripped of covering in the 1980’s, and that leading edge strip was discarded as too oxidised!! although all this information relating to the “restoration” is interesting, there’s nothing about where it came from!!!

as the hub is lightly corroded (and filed/sanded during “restoration”) the numbers are very faint. I can see D135177p? and in a circle 33, another small circle has 4 and what looks like “A” above it.

There is what i believe is a drg No. very faintly visible on the opposite side of the hub, which appears to read RA5612 16 38. The 6 and 2 of the first four digit number following RA are very faint and could at a push be either an 8 and 7?

I hope the attached pics are of help.

Many thanks for any assistance,

Paul.
