    Thank you again Anne.

    The propellor has been in my family since my father and I recovered it from a dump in 1963. It was repainted then in the paint shop where my farther worked. The brass strip was revealed at that time, being previously covered in paint. We always wondered if it was a Spitfire propellor, but until your invaluable information we never knew its origin.

    Thankyou all for your information, especially Anne.

    I have found a no. on the wooden [ATTACH]189043[/ATTACH]base and it corresponds to one of the numbers on the boss: 200237. The rust has eaten into the metal coating and destroyed the metal surface. I doubt if cleaning the rust will reveal the lost dwg no.

    I also realised under closer examination one of the hand engraved nos reads Dia 10′ 9″ which must be the overall dia of the 4 blades when fitted. The actual height of mine from base to tip is 5′.

    I have attached a photo, or rather being new to this forum I hope I have!!
