    I was almost correct, it’s was made by Hordern-Richmond Aircraft Ltd of Chesham Bucks. A few extra bits of info, being a Jablo type blade it will be made out of compressed birch blocks and it should have a cellulose nitrate covering called Rotoloid.

    Same type of blade (Drawing number RA10167). I don’t have my stuff to hand so I’ll confirm the details tomorrow but I think your one is made by Horden & Richmond (something like that anyway). It’s serial is 68719 and as for the red circle that tells you that it is a Jablo type blade. the R of RS tells you the type of covering it has and the S that it has a simple brass sheath fitted and lastly the large letter F tells you that this blade has been mass ballanced.

    More tomorrow.

    Ooh I need to get out more!

    What a sensible idea. We’ll have none of that sort of thing here, please. šŸ˜®

    Sorry…woman logic…I’ll try harder in the future.

    Not a Spitfire but a Seafire. It’s a blade for a Rotol R22/4F5/8 propeller fitted to Seafire Mks XV & XVII and made by F. Hills & Sons (originally Jablo Propellers) in Manchester.

    Please don’t shoot me but shouldn’t they spend the money on finishing the Anson, Bolingbroke and making their hangers water tight before they get stuck into the Beaufighter?

    Although, as far as I know, they were around during WW1 they were more common on aircraft of the inter war period. Alot of WW1 British aircraft used watches in holders as apposed to clocks. Nothing wrong with it being rim wound.

    Ooh, not so sure about that. Looks very much like 8 Day clocks used by the RFC, RNAS & RAF during and after the 1914-18 conflict.

    So that’s how they did it! Thanks Septic.

    I remember seeing the episode where the Ginger Rogers crashed and thought ‘That’s a bloody good B-17 mock up’. I always wondered how they did that but for some reson I had never thought of it being some actor sitting on a table with lots of mud and flowers round him.

    Thanks again.

    Top photos. One thing that has got me wondering. In your Beaufort photos there is a picture of what looks like a Martin turret copula (DSC0061). Do you know if this is for another restoration or were some Australian Beauforts fitted with this type of turret in place of the Bristol B.IV or B.V turrets?
