The police response is so slooooooooow.

I expect they were looking for a bucket of water and a bar of soap to slip up on !!!!!!!!!!!………never mind the crime ..lets find some ‘compensaaaation‘

Back in the late 1980’s I was invited to the PZL factory in Warsaw, to see the production line of the Koliber 150. This was a licensed copy of the French Rallye 100ST, but with a Lycoming 150 hp engine.
I had ordered two for the British register and was there to see the build quality.
At the propellor section I saw them start from an aluminium block and shape it, as Anon describes. It was fascinating to see it turned into what was a pretty standard blade, but also to talk to the one and only Polish worker in charge of the whole process.
I was informed that he had learned the skill from his father before him, who had worked at the PZL factory before, during and after World War 11.
He was their only ‘prop’ man, and his job was to totally form, polish and balance each blade for production delivery to the aircraft.
It was a hand skill to watch, and something I shall probably never see again.

‘They wouldn’t have ‘im….he’ll ‘ave to drink at to drink at the Duck and Feather now,!!!

I wonder why one of the wheels has a hole drilled out?

To fit the locking wheel nuts !!!!!!!!!??
