Time for a good clue. This Wot was hopped several times by Harry Butler, who went on to serve in WWI as a pilot and brought back to Australia what is now the sole surviving Bristol M1C. 🙂
You could say inspired by aa… 🙂
Ok fellas, here is the next Wot…

Looks like the Wagner Twin Tripacer aa.
That’s eye watering alright! I think I paid about 20% of that for the nicest one I have…
I can only suggest to keep an eye on EvilBay. They do come up occasionally and they are getting quite expensive. I need one more for my Avian collection… 🙂
Hi Ed,
Your Lincoln blade part number is DA-5080-0. They are a D shank blade and were cropped 18″ for use in the CAC Ceres. 🙂
Just to mess with you head on Mustang propellers, some of the CAC CA-18 Mk 22 Mustangs were fitted Packard V1650-7 engines and De Havilland 24DX-ADH47 propellers, with DA-6547A-6 blades and SAE50 spline spiders. These can be generally recognized by the ‘square cut’ tips, as compared to the Hamilton Standard ’round’ tips.
The Mk 23 Mustangs were fitted with Rolls Royce Merlin 66s or 70s and had same De Havilland propellers, but fitted with the SBAC No. 5 spline spider, to suit the pommy prop shaft. 🙂
Nice!
Good to see the Comet airborne again. Well done to all at OW.
Excellent photo coverage of the Comet, Camel and Triplane DCW. 🙂
Anon,
Is there any truth in the rumour that the blade forge at Avia has been decommissioned then?
A remarkable lady. RIP.
Well done Andy!
Maybe you could send photos to http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/. I’m sure they would be interested.
What exactly do you need Tony? I have some at home.
The vast majority of P-38’s ran Curtiss Electric propellers. 🙂
The Hamilton Standard/De Havilland propeller parts interchangeability is good topic bring up though. I believe Hawker De Havilland in Sydney used to have a publication on interchangeability, seeing they were involved with manufacture of propellers. I’m not sure what happened to their archives since Boeing took over.
