Recently I bought a large propeller blade from a seller in antique military equipment in 's Gravezande, The Netherlands.
The seller also told me he bought it from the Military Aviation Museum (now Military museum) in Soesterberg.
It was brought to the museum presumably as a bottom find.
What I would like to know:
- any idea's which aircraft it belonged to? Tips for my research are welcome.
- was it fitted to a Halifax or could it also be another aircraft type?
- what can be told from the corrosion? Some parts of the blade are in excellent condition, some not.
There was also a propeller hub attached to it but it was sold separately to a Halifax restoration project in Canada.
