i took this the other week. Think it came over from New Zealand but was originally from Australia when new/assembled.
Was a nice thing to see and hear on a quiet day at the airfield. I’m sure you can hear the wires before the engine…

What an interesting read.
I was told allot of surplus props were cut down and turned into coat hangers. This one here is missing the hooks but the holes for them can be seen spaced evenly apart. I’m not really sure what aircraft it was off unfortunately.

Thanks for the info people. Much appreciated.
The Westland grip shows evidence of been worked on at some stage. The plastic grip just under the armament button looks like its been melted and smoothed over with a good attempt at recreating the orig Dunlop texture.

Ian, The reason my first post seemed to come from nowhere is that it took a few days for my post to be approved.
In my case the approval period took some time and when it did actually post the thread appeared out of sight on page 3. I decided to post the Westland grip to confirm its origins and both posts vanished for a time.
I guess that was when you posted up your Shack yoke and missed my posts.

Here’s both sides of the B1 for reference. Cheers!

Graham, Maybe a little more than retouched.
The fine print at the bottom says he has done all the painting. The sellers completed listings confirms all that. Link

Thanks for the heads up Ewan.
It’s always interesting to read about new projects and their progress.
Please don’t hesitate post updates here as I am one of the few who don’t use facebook.
