Drg dh 5220

[noxiou11]

Hi all

I have a propeller left by my grandfather and from what I can make out of the markings here are some of them:

DRG DH 5220 P26
?.I.S ??28
GIPSY 1
87681 (might be 87631)

Can anyone help?

[Bob Gardner]

DH 5220 is the de Havilland drawing number for a range of Moth aircraft equipped with the Gypsy Major 1 engine. There are seventy variants. The type of aircraft was indicated by a letter; DH5220/P indicates a DH82 Tiger Moth and the Auster, both widely used training and communication light aircraft used by the RAF during WW2.

With kind regards,

Bob

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any idea on the sale price?

By the way way, it was mounted on an Greek airplane..

Perhaps around 200 Euros.

With kind regards,

Bob
