| Good evening Fly,sorry I dont ,its a question that the secretary has posted us members with,because I assume its lanquishing in the museum somewhere and no one knows its origin,I will see if I can get one in a day or so, if its not apparent from the serial numbers. |

| The RA 10160 is the same numbering sequence that Dowty Rotol uses for its blade numbers. Varable Pitch Wood blades with aluminum edges were popular in the 1930s. I might be able to help if I could see a photo, hope this might help for a starter....

| Apparently,someone has asked our secretary this question ,because they have discovered this prop,albeit the boss ,minus the majority of the blade,just the stumps presumeably,in a hedge near Wenlock edge ,Shropshire and had supplied the said numbers! So I,m not sure about getting a pic but thanks for your input all the same! |
