Hi,
With reference to the attached pictures, can anyone id the propellor and the squadron badge that's fixed to the top of the blade?
I believe it's an English blade and its dimensions are 54" x 10" approx.
Many thanks in advance!

The blade looks like a possible Dowty blade from a split hub, i.e. modern era blade

39 SQN were flying Mosquito NF Mk36 in 1949. And changed to Meteor NF 13's in 1953 The Sqn badge has the Queens crown on, which would be after 1953. But don't know of that shape blade on any aircraft.
