Our Ex-Services Club have an early WW1 wooden propeller which is thought to be from an Airco DH5 aircraft. The following dimensions are approximate: Prop diameter 8ft 5ins, hub diameter 8ins. There are four approx 1/2in dia bolt holes at the 12 oclock, 3 oclock, 6 oclock and 9 oclock positions, with four approx 3/8in dia holes equally interpersed with them. Bolt circle is 5.9ins (15cms). The shaft mounting hole, with a metal liner is 2 3/4ins internal diameter. Markings on the side of the hub say "Training No. 1708". One mounting face is marked "Tri Pro 137111, and on the opposite face is "1822" with a faint "French Type Boss DE. H. 5".
