  • Can Any One Help Me ?

    Can Any One Help Me ? A friend Of Mine Purchased A Propeller From An Auction Last Year But Knows Nothing Of Its Identity . Its About 10-12 Ft Long , Has Ten Bolt Holes Around The Centre Flange , The Tips Are Covered In Alliminium As Are The Propleller Edges . Originaly It was Painted In A Dark Brown Paint Which Has Since Been Stripped And Varnished Which Exposed Some Numbers . The Numbers Are As Follows ... SER 42 No 1636
    BRE 19 B2
    REN 480 cv


    I Have Some Images But At This Point In Time Im Having Difficulty Transfering Them To This Document .

    I Hope Some Body Can Help Me .

    It's probably a post WW1 propeller for a Breguet 19 with a Renault engine. The "Ser" refers to "Series" and is the identifying number, although I don't have reference to it in any of my WW1 listings. The "No." just refers to a serial number. The markings seem fairly specific, however.

      The Breguet 19 came into service with the French Air Force from 1924. Your prop is from the B2 variant, a light bomber, rather than the A2 model which was the recce version.
