Just found in amongst my poop:

AP1538D Part 2 & 4 DH Hydromatic Variable Pitch Propellers MAJOR REPAIRS
Its not amended but do I have up to AL85 loose (BIG stack).

AP1538D Part 3 DH Hydromatic Variable Pitch Propellers Schedule of Fits, Clearances & Repair Tolerances.
(unknown amendement level- but looks like 15)

This only seems to cover the AY and BY series upon a quick scan at the schedule listings of section 2(Constant Speed Units).

Here, here

It avoids all the stupid “may crap plane is better than your sh**e plane” childish blather.

Tango gets my vote anytime!

make a small rod perhaps??

Not sure about the implications of being screwed together, but if its for Marine use maybe the strength requirements arent as important.

The plate on the right is a standard data plate, with the modifications carried out on the unit. Ive seen these on BAC1-11, HS748 components – normally airframe ie Radomes, Ailerons, Rudder etc(got some un-stamped ones somehere).

I would assume that these where across the board on UK manufactured aircraft from the mid to late 1950’s. This one is obviously for something military given the section ref code (11B)and they are connected given the serial number tye up between the two plates. No idea what EWB means – someone here will be clever enough, but a lot of the 1-11 u/c serial numbers begin with VW/EEGW and then the individual serial number. I have assumed that this means VICKERS WEYBRIDGE/????

Maybe someone can enlighten us on that

Barns Farm was a barrack site, this is situated between Storrington and Washington. Numerous other locations dotted around this area, a number of bunkers and there is a Churchill tank somewhere near Storrington that somone has dug up. Findon and Worthing have also been garrison sites, a number of Canuck soldiers where killed when a Heinkel crashed into the house they were billeted in.

Mortar bombs are still occasionaly found on the downs, along with other bits and pieces which had been used in training.

The whole area was, I believe, used so what ive said above is only a very small amount of what went on.
