Hi All,
I've just found this site, so learning my way around.
I have a small wooden prop passed down from my grandfather who died when I was 11. I understand it was from an airship but have no details. It's 32" in diameter, has a metal hub for an approximately half inch shaft. The only markings are 'P24' stamped into the wood. I believe my grandfather worked in aircraft manufacturing of some sort during WW1 and the family lived at Hendon at some stage, before emigrating to Australia in 1927. He was a carpenter/cabinet maker by trade. It may be a generator or auxilliary prop of some type.
Any clues? I can post a photo when I figure out how.
Rod.
