  • British WW1 propeller identification

    Dear friends,

    First of all ,sorry if my english is not perfect.

    I own a propeller carved and modified as a mentel clock. I presume it comes from a SOPWITH WW1 plane but would like to know exactly wich model of plane.

    I searched on the internet with the numbers I can read ,but failed to identify the type of plane

    The varnish is very old and hide some of the numbers but I can read:

    G96 N4

    AD644 - RH

    130 - CLERGET

    I attach some pictures .

    I suppose that the clock (from the famous manufacturer SMITHS) comes also from an airplane of the same time but I cannot go farer for identification ... perhaps some one have an idea ??

    Thanks in advance for your help.

      Nice little relic.

      The drawing number AD644 identifies it as used on either a Sopwith Camel or a PV9. (There was a version of the same propeller with a 110 HP Clerget which was designed only for the Camel and not the PV9.)
