Hello, I got a response from avia: "I have been lying in our historical documents for a few hours, and unfortunately – we have no information to this concrete blade. We found ca 200 logbooks of V20 props! Some of the V20 props were sent to former AVIA Letnany for overhaul (usually after...

Avia can probably tell me who it was sold to. It was found around: https://www.google.nl/maps/place/1394+Horstermeer/@52.2514279,5.0754573,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47c66d4cee7c5d1b:0xddd07fd86b6d63d8

Hello, no i'm not sure of that . Its to bad the owner of the ground gave it away without asking for more info. Lets hope AVIA can tell us more.

Wow great find ! the inscription indeed looks the same. Now i have to find out what happenend with it. I will let you know when i get a reply from AVIA.

on a extra note, 5 years ago they found a 12 cilinder star engine there ?? sadly i dont have more info on that, since they gave it away to a museum, but maybe the two are linked.

AVIA just replied back. The number stands for Blade set 222 blade number 96 .Everyone else is on holiday and i will hear more next week, thats when they can check there archives.

Avia propellor from Czech also mailed me back that it might be from a Yak 11.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. the language on it should be czech i think. i added some clearer pictures, its in the back of a car looks quitte big to me. You can also see the colors better now. The other side of the blade is black and the letters where also yellow but that faded. I also got...

Hi, A friend of my found a propellor blade in the Netherlands. I did some searching and the text on it is Czech. I did some more research and it looks like its coming from AVIA propellor (V20). I also searched what planes crashed there in WW2, A Vickers Wellington MK X crashed around there...
