Constellation propeller blade?
Does anyone recognise this prop blade ?
It is a Curtiss hollow steel blade about 7ft high.
I think it is from a Constellation .
Can anyone shed any light on it?
Thanks
Is it some kind of competition ?
You will have to ask Mr “Me-109E” what he means?
Mmm
Don’t you mean before greedy individuals who took items for themselves for their so called ‘private collections’, who say I will open a museum one day and display it for the public but never happens!!:D
People in Glasshouses Etc Etc……

cockpit
The last time she was in one piece was when the Royal Navy owned her. She was a restored cockpit plus Griffon at Manchester circa mid 1980’s,
The Griffon was a sectioned one on loan from the Fleet air arm museum.
The cockpit was on loan to the Manchester museum.
It has been for sale since the early 90’s started at 20k
crash sites
does that mean he has the rest of the components or are they indeed at crash sites, which has already been mentioned:)
ben
He does not have the rest of the components & they are still on the crash sites (in Scotland).
crash sites
Hope the link works.
I think this has been on before. But this time the wings ect are included in the sale. Its realy hidden away this time, with no pic on the listing. Just the title `Piston engined fighter project`.
Any one got any info on this one ?
There are no wings, tail, engine etc, he is refering to the location of crash sites that have the formentioned.

Shack wheels
Hi–
“The wheels and tires from the Shack”? In what condition? IIRC both flyable Lancs use Shack wheels/brakes/tires. I know for sure the CWH one does, as they went to great lengths to get Lincoln gear legs to accommodate the Shack wheels…
In any case, great to see the nose of that Shackleton evade the axe!
Cheers
S.
The wheels taken about 10 years ago.
