Thank you for the explanation David.

From speaking to my father, I understand that my mother’s father had 10 of these propellers in his cellar.
I’d love to know what happened to the others. They were beautiful items, lovely polished laminated timber,
with brass leading edges (I seem to remember)

The numbers are dwindling 🙁

The Military channel is showing (again), it’s three part documentary on the BoB today.
Which includes lots of footage from the 1969 film. 5 – 7pm.

Great shots. Love the Vixen/Vulcan picture.

Is that a camera on the Mig canopy ?

I fear it is too late for that, but a nice thought and gesture anyway.
Anyway, with the money made on the cockpit sale, getting it mounted
on the wall wouldn’t have been a problem. Not that it would cost a lot to do
anyway.

If they are going to sell it off, so be it. I would rather it belonged to someone
who would actually look after it, and appreciate it’s workmanship.
I dread to think of the condition it’s in now, after being stored for over 40yrs. 🙁
