    That would not be off either a Me109 or Me110 would it, complete 3 blader with the props slightly bent back with little salt corrosion. I will see if i can get some pics of it when it was together as found in the local scrappy, I was said to be dragged up by a fishing trawler a few miles south of Portland, the hub i think went to help out on a 109 project but i have one of the blades

    Thats the one !! I have a pic of it in the boatyard somewhere.

    I thought the original wheels were pressed steel with holes in..if they are,I might be able to get hold of some,and some of the generator stuff for that matter..looks very similar to some gear my mate has in his stationary engine collection.

    I seem to remember a young lad arrested in the states years ago ,in the process of making his own either `dirty` of atom bomb,he used the radioactive elements out of hundreds of old smoke alarms.Why would any terrorist bother with bulky old aircraft clocks when there is a stronger smaller source in household products?
