Saw these items in a roadside bar called Oilers, in Oetz near Imst, Austria. They had lots of recycled mechanical stuff decorating an old petrol station, to give the effect of a US diner. Thought it went together well. In a side room they had this four-blade propeller as a ceiling fan, and control panels mounted on the wall. Anyone have any idea what plane the came from please ?

I spotted the obstruction beacons on the wall…

Just goes to show, time spent in a bar is never wasted.

Nothing too exotic then. Thanks for the replies and solving that one.

That actually looks like a cut down Ford axle driving the “fan”!

Agree on the F-27 but the blades appear a bit short. Cropped perhaps? The panel looks more like an overhead panel of some sort, the orange panels are perhaps just additions to cover some big holes.

Prop looks like Fokker F.27.

There were two identical (?) panels in the bar, with English writing, but mounted a little too high to read !

Totally random idea but could that panel be from a refueling taker? Those red panels remind me of the alignment panels on the underside of the aircraft.
