RA propeller blades

[N1G3L]

Hi to all in the forum!

I too have a couple of Rotol blades that I'd like to indentify.

One of them has fairly easily readable model no. RA10062R
The other is not so easy to read, but they are identical in all other respects.

They both have a brass tipped leading edge, only at the last 10" of the tips.
The remainder has a hide clad leading edge.

73" from base to tip & 12.5" at their widest point.
Each of them weighs 31.1Kg

Both are quite beaten up and I like to think this was due to action in WWII!
They're going on eBay soon!

Hello and welcome to the site.

According to my notes the prop blade RA 10062/RA is the Wimpy with a Hercules and the Lancaster Mk.II kites.

PS. I would like to remind you that trading and advertising is not allowed on the forum.

Thanks for your reply.

I wasn't offering them for sale here, but thought other members might like to know that they will be on sale soon.

Just wondering where you got these from? Only asking because they look like they have been used as fence posts with the holes in the blades where the barbed wire was nailed in. Farmers in the Lake District used them, about 10 years ago someone removed all of them and put them up for sale.

They came from a house clearance. The former resident bought them at auction some years ago.
Fence posts! Make me shudder that...
