If this remains unsold it will be broken up and sold as individual blades and hub separately which would be a shame.

Here we have an complete propeller and hub for a Bristol Hercules Engine.

The Part Number DB739 on the propeller blades shows that it would have been used on the Bristol Hercules VI, IX, XVI and XVII engines that were used on the Wellington, Marks III, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV. It was also used on the Lancaster II fitted with the Hercules VI engines.

The hub can be used in other Aircraft Such as the Bristol Beaufighter, Short Stirling and the Handley Page Halifax

The three blades are in a good overall condition and do not have any crash damage.  One of the blades has a bullet hole which shows that the aircraft saw action. This was sourced from the Netherlands.

The hub is in a very good condition and could fly again subject to the required checks.

Hurricane Z5053 Cannon and MG Mount (pg1 air)

Now available at 73% off

This a superb piece of history from one of the most brutal conflicts of WWII.  It is a 20mm cannon and MG mount from Z5053 which was a MK IIB Hurricane  built by Gloster Aircraft sometime between July 1940 and August 1941.

 It was then shipped to Russia via the perilous artic convoy route . The first convoy to arrive in Arkangel code-named Operation Dervish was in August 1941 and this aircraft seems to be one of the first Hurricanes to arrive just two months after the start of operation Barbarossa in June 1941. In total the Barbarossa force had about 3,000 tanks, 7,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft. It was in effect the largest and most powerful invasion force in human history.

Hurricane Z5053 was recorded as being  shot down in Archangel in August 1942 meaning it survived for a year which is a long time in that theatre of conflict and therefore must have seen extensive action.

This Hurricane was fitted with Russian armament including a ShVAK 20mm Cannon and a 12.7mm Berezin machine gun.

 The MK IIB Hurricane was really outdated as a fighter by 1941 and was used primarily as a Fighter Bomber .

The MK IIB could also carry two 250Lbs Bombs on wing racks increasing to 500Lb by the end of 1941.  Some Russian Hurricanes had RS-82 air to air rockets installed under the wings (three per wing)

Below a Russian MK IIB Hurricane fitted with ShVAK 20mm Cannons, 12.7mm Berezin machine guns and rockets.

The Junkers Ju 88 was one of the most versatile and effective combat aircraft of World War II. Its closest counterparts on the Allied side were the Mosquito and Beaufighter. The German aircraft was larger and slower, but nevertheless very effective. 14,676 were built, including   104 prototypes for its 60 different versions.

Like the Mosquito, the Ju 88 originated as a fast bomber. In 1935 the Luftwaffe had a requirement for a  Bomber with a speed of 500km/h with 800kg of bombs. This was much faster than the biplane fighters that then equipped the German fighter units; it was even faster than the first models of the Bf 109 monoplane fighter.
