  • Seeking info on Prop

    Not sure who the manufacturer is (no sticker) and what engine or aeroplane this was used on. It seems it was a Cheetah radial engine but I cannot be sure exactly which one and really not sure of aircraft. Any help would be appreciated. The markings on the propeller are as follows:

    On the hub:
    D 88
    P 75
    CHEETAH MKX
    OXFORD
    FEB 1943

    On the blades:
    SER R2416
    SS-SS 200F

    It has 3 smaller circles stamped near the serial number with some letters and numbers inside but they are hard to make out. It's also an 8 hole hub.

    Thanks again for any help.

    If you use the search feature on this Forum and search for "Cheetah" I believe you'll find your answer.

      Yes I had already done that but I'm not really sure of any details.

      I see many marking for a Cheetah MX1X or just X but not MKX so I'm not sure exactly what engine this was paired with.

      Still can not be sure of the manufacturer either, may be S&S, but perhaps not. Trying to confirm.

      As for aircraft type it was used on there are a couple of good candidates but again looking to confirm.

      Great site and love looking at all the postings for this type of propeller.
      Thanks again.

        I was told this may be from an Anson but again not sure.

          The Cheetah MkX was used primarily in the Airspeed Oxford a UK training aircraft. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_Oxford.

            Thanks for your reply. From the other forum posts I was pretty sure this was a Cheetah Mark X engine on a Airspeed Oxford but I was unsure after I was told this was off of an Anson. So thanks for that.

            Is there any way to know if this was from a UK aircraft or used on a Canadian trainer?

            Also is there anyway to determine the manufacturer?

            Thanks again.

              I will make an educated guess that the SS-SS marking was used by S&S in Canada. Unless it's been refinished though I would expect to see decals on your prop. At any rate, that would make it Canadian.
