Looking for some help with identifying a propeller. I believe this was found in a garage in Essex, after having been bought some years ago at a car boot sale, or similar.
Intrigued to know what type of aircraft it might have been on.
With thanks in advance.

Crikey - there are so many! hopefully the enlarged images assist - Possibly a Hamilton Standard, having zoomed in to Image #4

The TC reference (P13NE) is for a Hamilton Standard 6/5500/F-1 and F-2, used on the BAe ATP/Jetstream 61.

One hour and three minutes to nail a bit of a propeller
this place is getting slow..... must be the summer holidays................... in the good old days we'd have had the full flying record of the thing by now ;)

Only 5 minutes after the photos of the serial nrs.
I think Dave is still quick.

:ok: but 5 years ago he'd wouldn't have taken 5 minutes to type the answer - we're slowing down

Along with three off-topic discussions, a political debate, an overview of other types by the same designer and a video of a small kitten. ;)

Crikey those shots don't show the size of an ATP blade . The whole prop was about 16' in diameter , thus 1 blade should be about 7' long with hub approx 1' .
Don't forget there are 6 blades all plastic in that hub . Seem to remember prop rpm of approx 1050 ....perhaps climb setting ?
Sounded like a machine gun when prop deice used , ice being flung against fuselage . Bit quieter when sacrificial plates added to fuselage sides .

The OP's second photo shows the Hamilton Standard part number (starts UFB ...). The number after those letters - 14 - indicates the nominal prop diameter in feet.
