  • Any info much appreciated

    I have come across a lady who's father was an RAF mechanic during world war two. She has two props. I am posting the pictures of one of them for identification. The second one is a Rolls Royce with these markings Darraco motor London T28020? Also eng 20. IMG_5242.jpeg

    From a brief internet search of the design numbers, I can tell you that both propellers date from the WW1 era.
    The one pictured, design number A.B.8080, is from an S.E.5a aircraft, fitted with a 200hp Hispano-Suiza engine.
    Design number T28020 is for a propeller for an F.E.2e aircraft, fitted with a 250hp Rolls-Royce Eagle engine. The Darraq Motor Company would have been the manufacturers of the propeller.

    It would be very interesting to see some more photographs.

      It would also be interesting to see if these are propellers or just hubs with blades removed.
