ROTOL Propeller Identification

Can anybody idenify which aircraft type this propeller is from?

Numbers seem to be: RA36924 / RA10417-2

Looks post-war to me; possibly HP Hastings or even a turbo-prop?

I’ve got an old, good-condition, Rotol hub with the 60-spline, Pete. No blades, unfortunately, but big old Rotol blades do surface from time to time.

I may have two hubs, not sure, if you need one?

Yes Mike, does not have to be airworthy & blades need not be full length, cheers, Pete

Thanks for the replies; it isn’t mine, I’m just trying to help with identification (with the forum’s help). 🙂

SBAC60 – yes, Hercules.

Can’t answer the second question. Are you looking for a 60-spline hub, OZFURYFAN?

Does that mean it would have a hub spline pattern to suit the Bristol Hercules?? Is it up for disposal??

Hastings had a de-H prop. The one you have appears to be ex-Varsity.
