As far as I can make out the changeover to Red leading was 1930 and 1935 for the deletion of the of rudder stripes until I think their re-adoption by 1 Sqn in France in 1939 when they kept being bounced by French a/c then later to the fin flash became the norm.

It is indeed.

A very easy one.

If the length of the blade is only 28.5″, this would mean that the complete prop would be quite small (somewhere around 72″ diameter including the hub). Unless someone can identify the serial/drawing numbers (maybe Anneorac) then my guess is it’s been cut down from a longer blade and repolished. To me the shape of the blade suggests it’s been truncated.

No it’s the Gaullaudet Pursuit. PW.4

It is, Richard. Have you got something to post?

No brainer – A.J.Jackson’s ‘British Civil Aircraft 1919-72’. But if I had to offer a first reserve, it would be Arthur Ord-Hume’s ‘British Light Aeroplanes – their evolution, development and perfection 1920-1940’. I don’t expect very many others to agree because anoraks like me are pretty thin on the ground nowadays!

My choice also.
