Propeller Identification
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.

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

I think Dave is still quick.
but 5 years ago he'd wouldn't have taken 5 minutes to type the answer - we're slowing down
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 .
