WW2 aeroplane propeller find on Arran sparks crash mystery

Saw this article on the BBC News website this morning...

WW2 aeroplane propeller find on Arran sparks crash mystery

A propeller thought to be from a Second World War aeroplane has been found buried in a peat bog on Arran.

The blades, thought to be from a B17 Flying Fortress or a B24 Liberator, were found wrapped in potato sacks during peatland restoration work at Coire a'Bhradain.

Aircraft crashed in the area during the conflict, but the discovery falls outside of two known sites.

Heritage bosses have launched an investigation into the find.
