Further to the above, please find further detailed pictures of the propellor blade.
Many thanks. A colleague of mine seems to think the aircraft was working for the Environment Agency so what you say makes perfect sence. UKWMO
Thanks for that. I think you’re spot on. Googled the registration and found out quite a bit. Oh and yes it was at night. Thanks again for your reply. UKWMO
Not actually sure of the measurements at the moment. Awaiting further details. Many thanks for your interest though. I’ll upload further information as soon as I get it.
A Heinkel 111 did go into the sea off Worthing on 8th April 1941 so that could also be a possibility.
Thanks for that fascinating information. I’ve checked the records and there were no Anson or Swordfish crashes in the sea off Worthing, however a Walrus did crash in the sea off Worthing on 21st July 1942. I do intend to get further photographs so will most definitely upload them for you guys to view. Thanks again to everyone who’s taken the time to reply.
Seems like the length of the prop blade is about 3.5 feet.

Thanks chaps for your reply. The picture was uploaded by a friend on Facebook so will try and get some more information for you. Thanks.
It would appear that I can’t say much about this publication for fear of breaching the forum’s terms and conditions with regard to advertising, however I can tell those interested that this publication is now available.
Sample copy has arrived!
Sample copy of this title has arrived. Giving the go ahead to print this morning.
No worries, will do.
Great, thanks.
Many thanks Mr Creocote.
Yes absolutely. Certainly my username suggests I could be. UKWMO was such a fascinating organisation, such a shame the men and women involved were never commended or acknowledged for their training and preparation for a role that thankfully was never needed!
