Lack of skill here i would say.
The odd part from the shed is also making its way into my Vampire.

camel prop?

The seller of this asured me he has checked the serial number from this prop and measured the hub and bolt pattern to confirm it.
Seamed odd to not have any manufacturer or size and pitch info like every other prop of this era ive seen (asuming its not all stamped onto the side of the hub thats covered). But what stands out to me, apart from the asking price , is that this prop apears to be the wrong rotation for a camel?

Thanks for that Adler, I have read something like that. Ill give it a try.

I had thought those days where over . Fingers crossed again!

I would have to say as a person who has worked on alot of different types of vehicles over the years that rags can definatly be left in engines. Ive done it.
But ive also worked in aircraft maintanance for a few years and done my share of engine changes . Stuffing a rag into an oil line is the last thing anyone would do. As soon as the rags in there it would become obviose that
whoever gets the job of reconnecting them wont see them and disaster will follow. The result is also not very likely to result in any evidence of the tampering either.
I dont think there would be many aircraft engineers who would be too comfortable stuffing rags into oil lines at any time expecialy wile under the preasure of far from ideal working conditions thay may have been under.

And some 2 seaters which i think where normal T11s
She has one 2 seater flying and one single seater ground running.
And at least one of the fighters has found its way onto a pole in the middle of a carpark at a shoping center, how sad is that?
