Battle of Britain Spitfire 3 bladed early propeller

Propeller was recovered from the sea.  Although the blades are bent the hub is complete.  It is the early type that used counter weights to operate the pitch control.  We have some provenance for this propeller although it is not 100%.  We will supply full details to anyone with a serious enquiries. Comes mounted on a wheeled stand.

Hawker Tempest 

Four Blade Spinner Tempest?

I believe this to be a Spinner for a Tempest or possibly a Griffon Engine aircraft like the F22 Spitfire. Does anyone recognise the part number?

Picador  Propeller (pg1 prop)

This propeller was fitted to a Picador Drone: (ML Aviation U120D target aircraft into which the Picador engine was fitted, why the sea is full of Picador engines", it's because the radio control systems of the 1950s were very rudimentary, the range was limited, the telemetry was non-existent, and the operators inexperienced. If the aircraft went out of sight, behind a cloud, or had any problem, they lost control and the aircraft came down. It did have a parachute, but as it was or should have been over the sea, the plane was still lost.

This prop is in nice condition and would make a great display piece. The alloy nose cone can be easily removed if preferred. It is not a huge piece and measures 1.4m or 54" . Made by the Airscrew company of Weybridge

I do not know if this is the aircraft this prop was fitted too but its the best picture I could find of an unmanned target drone.

Watts Propeller (pg1 prop)

This is a Watts propeller. This type of propeller was used on very early Spitfire's the protype, Mk1 and Hurricane Mk1 in very limited numbers. They were soon replaced by the three bladed variable pitch props. I believe this type of prop was fitted to the late 1930s fighters such as the Gladiator. Hand made using traditional methods by our craftsman. They are marked correctly with period stamps. We only use good quality Ash and Mahogany. I do not like to call it a repro or copy as it does not do it justice and suggests they are somehow inferior to the ones produced in the early 1930s which it is not. It is made to original specs and identical in every way to the ones made 70 years ago, using the same labour intensive techniques. The laminate's are locked using dowels and traditional glue. It took our craftsman 10 days to make this awesome propeller. They are not massed produced. We have a large inventory of  Propeller's. We can produce props to your specification in materials and glue if you wish to get them approved for flying. This one is balanced but for sale as DISPLAY ONLY

Lancaster, Mosquito Propeller Hub and spider (pg1 prop)

This is a Hub casing and spider made de Havilland for the Merlin powered Mosquito and Lancaster. The spline is the fine version used on British built Merlin as apposed to the coarse spline on Packard made Merlins. Its in good condition and has been soaked in oil to prevent corrosion.

Hurricanes, also used the hub.
The spider is specific to 23E types of hub only,
Other Merlin-powered planes which used it were the CASA C2111, Canadair Argonaut, possibly the Avro Tudor and all the derivatives of the Lanc, ie Lancastrian, York.
A larger version of it was used on the Beaufighter which had Hercules with bigger prop shafts
