Thanks for replying so promptly Tony. You are obviously very knowledgable on this subject. You mention a 80hp Beardmore engine? I was under the impression their engines, for FE2Bs were 120hp and 160hp? I assume the Decals are the transfers for Boulton and Paul and Howes and Son which are perfect. Would this suggest that these props were never actually used on an aircraft as I would expect they would wear off after only a few flights? Would the fact that this prop has been cut in half and mounted on plinths detract from its value or was it actually manufactured in two halves. Finally can you estimate a date of manufacture? Thanks again Tony. Steve.
