I received the following details below via a private message, now with the authors name deleted. My observations are in red!
Hello, I have come across a prop with a clock in it. The data on the hub reads: Do9" p49" Diameter miss-read. It's D 6ft 9ins and Pitch 4ft 9ins Sept/36 Date of manufacture Drg No DH5220/L The drawing number Gipsy II III & Major Engine types possible for this prop L.H.T[/I] A left hand tractor configuration The prop was used on the DH Tiger Moth, a WW2 basic trainer, used in GB as well as South Africa, Texas, and Canada. Most of the training airfields outside GB were chosen for their blue skies, a meteorological condition seldom seen in Great Britain. 1936 was the first year of expansion of the British and Dominion armed forces to meet the emerging threat from Germany via the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) With kind regards, Bob

Thanks for posting it here, Bob.
A reminder - I've uploaded a page that I send to people who email me questions about propellers. I politely explain why I stopped replying and instead refer them here. As you well know, much of the effort you put into answering questions often appears to be almost "unappreciated", so now at least in those cases the data is available here for others to share. |

Hi Dave,
I recall you telling me that you had done this but until now I haven't looked at it. It's very good. Partially in jest I suggest a small addition to the effect; 'And if we provide you with information be so kind as to thank us !' With kind regards, Bob

I know, Bob. It's frustrating some times. But although this email that I got last week was addressed to me, you should certainly share in the expression of appreciation for what we are doing here.
