Evening folks, I recently acquired a prop boss with the following inscription and just wondered if anyone would know the type of aircraft it may have been removed from?
DRG NO. DH 5220 /MX/20. GIPSY III & MAJOR. D.6. 4 P. 4 6 date 1939
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

A DH 5220P brought out of storage recently and put back into service after refurb by Hercules Propellers.[ATTACH=CONFIG]260109[/ATTACH]

The basic DH.5220 drawing number was used for pretty much every single engine DH design using a Gipsy III or Major of the 1930s. I don’t have a listing for the MX/20 but the MX/19 and MX/21 were used on the Tiger Moth and Queen Bee.
