[QUOTE=Jur;1980444]I found 3 pics of P7350 in my files. They were shot in the BBMF hangar in September 2010.

Why the yellow triange on the wing? To show it’s in under service?

However, the more propeller blades you have the more drag you are creating. Therefor the more blades you have the larger and more powerful engine you would have. Eg. Spitfire Mk.I’s had two and three blade propellers while the XIX has five.

If I understand it correctly the early spits and hurricanes around ’38ish changed the two blades to three. Hamilton Standard?
But the the biggest improvement was the higher octane petrol from the US had?

Good evening all

Mr Merry, it’s not an MS.141.

avions ancien, ignore the brain on this one(!)…its not a Leopoldoff Colibri…and its not an Andreasson. And to put the mind at rest, it’s not a French (or Swedish) machine. It is however from a Western (as opposed to Eastern) European country.

Ah well, I tried.
I hope my boss doesn’t find how much time I spent trying to find the answer. Good job she was out most of the day in meetings :D:D

style and panache’.

Sorry another dumb question:rolleyes:

A four bladed prop will have a larger surface area than a three, given the lower power of a V than say an IX how does a four blade affect the performance of a V?

Told you a dumb question:D

Is it because there are more four blades available than three?

Thanks chaps,

I left before the Moth was completed so I don’t know the colour scheme.

Thanks again Dave.

Thoughts goes out to the families.

But was he on instruments or VFR? The accident happened about 8.00am so it would have been dark and the conditions were not suitable VFR.

I think you have to be on VFR over London, but I’m not a pilot so I stand to be corrected. Still makes it tragic all the same.
From the BBC news site.

The BBC weather centre said weather observations at the time of the crash showed very low cloud but not thick fog. The nearest observation site was London City Airport which at 08:00 reported 700m visibility with broken cloud at a height of 100ft.

NATS, which runs air traffic control across the UK, said the pilot had been receiving assistance earlier in the flight but not at the time of the crash.
