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.

Dec 4, 2012 #6 Airframes Benevolens Magister 62,661 11,964 Aug 24, 2008 Cheshire, UK 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.

Dec 5, 2012 #9 Airframes Benevolens Magister 62,661 11,964 Aug 24, 2008 Cheshire, UK I didn't spot that either. Could be something like a DH Dove, or a smaller aircraft.

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