I think it’s a 127 or 129. but JP ought to have it as they (the Corsaires) all have slight differences. Is that a Mathies or a Salmson up front?

Well this is one that was in NZ 3 years ago. I believe it crashed retuning to base from Wanaka.

It is the Fairey Primer, one of the less common pictures. The ball is in your court again.

Seen at Spitalfields market today, a stall holder selling two four blader WW1 vintage airscrews and a Hartzell 2 blader. One of the 4-bladers was stamped” FE2B 160hp Beardmore”, couldn’t see the detail on the other. Both in pretty good condition, asking price £5.2K each for the 4 bladers. I’ve got the stallholders contact no if of use to anyone – not connected with me, I should point out.

What ridiculous prices. I can hear voices off stage saying “and where do you think that’s going” Lovely props but big.

The spoked wheels are probably “off the shelf” Rudge Whitworth wheels. Some had the natty little ‘knock off’ car type spinners and some used a domed nut. They have to be on a splined hub (otherwise they’ll come undone if the “vehicle” is reversed. I have seen this type of wheel on other types of early ground equipment. It probably means a troll (or trawl) through Flight at sometime.

Lovely shot. How nice to see it with a “proper”nose.

:)Good call.
