Wreckage in Bristol Channel

In the mid '80s I regularly flew in the Bristol area and frequently saw a large propellor blade sticking out of a big sandbank in mid-channel roughly between Portishead (or a mile or so upstream) and the Welsh shore to the North. We once came to a hover close by, it was a big square-ended paddle blade similar shape to that on a Herc/Convair or some of the later RAF piston transports and was clealy still attached to an engine.

Long shot I know, anyone able to shed light?
