This Typhoon hit a tree.
I am intrigued by the instruction Do Not Turn, how the hell did it get home ?

Interesting -
If that was written on the prop before the damage, my guess someone was timing magnetos and had the timing marks lined up. If that was written after the damage I'd guess by turning may further damage the engine or accessory.

My assumption is that it was written on after the aircraft got home, or it would never have taken off. However to get home it must have turned thousands of times. Also how can you hit a tree without totalling the prop.
Beats me.

Well if they were timing magnetos they could have just neglected to erase the waring from the blade but I do think, more than likely it was done after the aircraft arrived home and inspected. I wonder what the propeller blade cut out of the picture looked like?!?

The damage on the hub lines up with the damage on the intake. Perhaps he cut the engine before hitting a tree top and then landed.
