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
