[maxbren]

Hi everybody, could you help me to find prop's aircraft, i don't know it's warbird.

Blades are 110 cms and number is 1972-4 N°F272 B
(1972 isn't date?)

Thanks.

Sure looks to be WWII, not sure which type yet.
Where was it found?

Looks like it 'could' be a VDM of some type - if it didn't have the pointy tip, I would have said possibly Bf 110 or Fw 190A. Will check those numbers.

110 cm blade length, it is much to small for Bf110 or Fw190.

i believe it's americain.

The origin is north of France, near Amiens.

Looks a similar shape to a De Havilland prop, similar to the Spitfire MkI and II, although the hubs were not exposed on the Spit prop.

110cm is quite small. Wondering if its a sport plane.

Ah, didn't notice the comment on length under the ad. Yep, that is quite small.

I didn't spot that either. Could be something like a DH Dove, or a smaller aircraft.

Aren't the "rings" on the backing plate are conductors for electric anti-icing? If so I don't think this is a WW2 era prop.

Another reason to suggest 1972 is the date of manufacture.

Thats what I was thinking, but there don't seem to be any anti-ice heating pads on the blades.

Maxbren, can you post some pictures of the blade tips, and any numbers off the hub?

 

[maxbren]

it's not mine, there aren't other pictures, but each blade tips are yellow, and they are no others number (no number off the hub, strange?)
