Good Evening,

Vickers SW14 is the name and post code of the firm who built the prop.
100hp ONO GNO translates as 100hp Mono Gnome (mono is short for monosoupape, which tr. as one-valve).
FE 8 is the type of aircraft.
T7??? is T7928, I expect, where the letter T indicates that it was designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory, the same people who designed the aircraft.

The prop has a diameter of 2440mm and a pitch of 2330mm.

If the prop has small squares with AID numbers in them, please tell me what the numbers are, for my database. However, they are seldom readable. And if poss could you send me a close-up photo of the decal at high resolution (and in focus!)?

With regards,

Bob

I'm guessing that it looks just like this one, where the numbers are fairly clear.
