Hi All,
Attached are photographs of large propellers from (we believe) a military aircraft. Would someone please be able to assist with their identification as to which aircraft they are from and what era. We have 3 similar blades.
Regards

Thank you for your response, the tips are yellow. We believe the propellers are from a WWII military aircraft, we just do not know which type. Fighter?, Bomber? nor make. Any help is appreciated.
