Looks Rotol and providing you’ve photographed the front of it you’re looking at a right handed prop which would be mean a Merlin engine. Without grubbing out the wood at the root end looking for a number there is little I could add.

Control unit Type 17. Used with IFF Mk.II (ARI 5000) & IFF Mk.IIE (ARI 5027).

A Hamilton Standard/DH hydromatic propeller. That narrows it down to about 30% of the aircraft types used by the Allies.

The hub looks in good nick so there is every chance they’ll be able to identify it from that.

Quite a bit to source and you’ve found the easy bits already.

A popular phrase used to denote ‘everything’ or ‘the whole lot’

There is some suggestion that this was derived from the length of the ammunition belts in some (unstated) WW2 aircraft.

But actually comes from American Football where the last nine yards before the End Zone are recognised as the most difficult to traverse with your four downs. So the whole nine yards is to provide maximum effort against maximum adversity or to put it another way give it everything you’ve got.

Anne (being a bit pedantic)

i would like to see a film from the argentine point of view, with the same sort of production values as the recent che films, the story of a dagger pilot up against the royal navy, the frustration of tactics used and limitations and the aftermath, maybe the life story of a fresh faced pro junta pilot coming thru training, shoved off to war and what happened after the defeat

Iluminados Por El Fuego, the stoy of conscripts and how they deal or don’t deal with the aftermath. Some of this was actually filmed in the Falklands.

The BBC did a good television drama called Tumbledown – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbledown – but it focussed on just one part of the war.

Probably be extremely expensive to make a movie covering the whole war, but maybe a film about 2 Para’s battle at Darwin and Goose Green?

The BBC also did another one off about the Argentine Invasion called ‘An Ungentlemanly Act’ which I personally thought was better than Tumbledown.

It was the first time I’d seen a TV film reproduce tracer fire and during one scene when a chap walks across a court yard there’s hundreds of 7.62mm cases lying about…nice touch. One of the actors even has a very accurate 1982 issue tache.:D

Hang about…maybe I should Look at my original post.

DS940 Barracuda & Defiant II

Well the same goes for DA940, same blade jst a different covering.

Anne

£195 sounds a bit steep for a broken bit of Rotol blade…hope they liked it.
