Good morning on the last day of a sad year fellow Ppruner's.
I have two wooden prop blades, I was told that they had originally came from either a Spit or a Hurri, thing is they have lost about .5 of an inch from the tips, they have a copper or brass leading edge strip are covered in what looks like very primitive plastic, black in colour, and have a very big steel threaded sleeve on the base, I have had these for years and feel that I should either find some one who can use them or turn them into a thing of grace, that could then adorne my wife's mantle piece!, before I do that, has anyone out there got any idea's . I also have three never been used blades that I am told are of De Havilland/Gypsy 6 origin??
A Happy and prosperous New Year to all you Ppruners. May all your Landings be small and neat!
