    Thanks for that. More research required!

    Below is a crop of the wording as best I can make out and rotated 180 so that it is the right way round. So close to being able to read it!

    Nice! You should run some volts through it all for fun 🙂

    Windhover,

    Yes, we heard that it was Tornado and that JAM were prevented from taking all the measurements they needed by the removal of the parts from the facility at JAM.

    I’m sure the RB396 team will be only too happy to make it all available to JAM so that they can complete the measurements they need, especially when you consider that JAM has donated a number of parts to the RB396 project. Seems to make sense that if JAM helps RB, then RB will help JAM. 🙂

    Simon, can Ground Penetrating Radar be used from a ship to see what is under the seabed?

    Or are there other methods of being able to see under the mud?

    I ask because quite often the wreck settles and gets covered, so there is a much smaller target to find, just wondering if GPR would be a helpful tool for locating wrecks and seeing the true extent of what remains.

    Cheers

    Ed, unless originality is a must, I would ditch the decagonal bead and go with a standard bead/tyre combo. If the wheel isn’t driven or braked, there won’t be any relative rotation between tyre and rim, unless perhaps if the bearing were to seize in the wheel!
    White tell-tale markings on the tyre will let you know if it is moving.
    Bigger wheels don’t need it as they have plenty of square inches pushing on the bead to ensure there is no slippage!

    Thanks for the update 🙂

    Cheers

    Probably from a Hawkair Bristol Freighter. They were in Terrace.

    The 6159 is type certified on the 23E hub and has a LHT equivalent (also type certified) of 6160.
    The 6359 is also type certified on the 23E hub and has a LHT equivalent (also type certified) of 6360.

    I’m hoping the other two (6173 and 6223) show up on the hub for the Typhoon, once I figure out what exactly that hub is, if it is a 33E or a 43E equivalent.

    Edit. They don’t show up on the 33E or 43E series of prop hubs. Not on the Type cert for them anyway.

    Definitely worth considering! I’m not sure how the Canadian Authorities would go with it, but it is most definitely worth considering.

    The advantage of trying to get a source for metal blades is that there are quite a few people who need them. Beaufighters and Halifaxes use LHT props, so they may be able to cut down longer blades (Typhoon) for their aircraft. That would put in a minimum order of around 21 blades with no spares being manufactured.

    Now, if they could put their blades into the stock hubs…. Well that would be much better!

    I did Beermat, you should have it and HS130B already. Let me know if you don’t.

    It is on the way to you Ed. You’ll find it full of great info, but I’m also disappointed as I thought (hoped) it would have some DH numbers in it.

    Here is a cut and paste of 130B title data:

    Document Identification
    Publication Number 130B
    Revision Date 08/15/1983
    Revision Number 10
    Document Type OHM
    Detail
    Title/Equipment Aircraft Propeller Aluminum Blades
    Application(s) C-130; Guppy; L100; L-188; L382; Convair 580; DHC-2
    Part Number(s) n/a
    Engine(s) n/a
    Model(s) 2D30-237; 54H60

    So don’t pay for it because I don’t think it has what you want!

    Still looking for 130A, but no luck as yet.

    Ok Beermat and P&P. I now have T.O 03-20CC-4 aka AP2121A&B, Interchangeability of Hamilton Standard propeller parts.

    It is about 5Mb. PM me with an email address if anyone wants it.

    Cheers
    Graham
