  • Would like additional info on a propeller

    I took possession today of a two blade wooden propeller that it seems is from an Avro Anson? It is in quite good shape (except for the clock in the hub!). It apparently for part of its life was in an RCAF Sergeants Mess in Ottawa (Rockcliffe), hence the clock!

    It is flat black with yellow tips, it has the manufacturer's label on the prop. Here are the details.
    Erco Propeller Serial No. F-89
    Anson R975 (Probably Wright Whirlwind R975)
    Drawing No. 3081-L
    2050 RPM Max on Ground
    Contract No. DAW535ac1298

    I suspect it is from an Anson Mk. IV but am not sure? Any idea what year it may have been manufactured? Perhaps any former RCAF members would remember a prop in the Sergeants Mess at Rockcliffe?
