    Thanks again guys, its great to have such a wealth of knowledge in one spot for once. Other forums I have found take days for a response (Thanks for the reference to the site OldSpitty)

    Hmm the counter – contra thing it is likely similar how we call tires tires here and across the pond its a tyre. No wonder the English Language confuses the hell out of those trying to learn it as a 2nd language LOL.

    Back on to the topic does anyone have any Rotol part#’s or specs for the spinner as well as the blades for the MK II and V Spit’s that they could share. I would really appreciate any assistance you provide.

    Thank You again for your help in identifying the shak spinner.

    Thank you for your help guys, I was dubius when I looked at it but the dimensions looked fairly close to the MKV 3 bladed rotol spinner including the locking mechanism on the spinner to the backing plate. The Hawker Sidley part# through me though as it was not DH or Rotol, but you never know as the veterans stopping by inform me no particular part was definitively spitfire as each one was different off the floor.

    It is interesting that it is off of a Shakelton as I was under the impression they were griffon powered with the counter rotating gear boxes (6 blades).

    Also just a shot in the dark but I am looking for an early style rotol prop blade for a spitfire to use as a pattern to have new blades built if anyone has any info on the whereabouts of one please contact me at [email]info@fighterwerks.com[/email]

    Cheers
