Prop ID Help

[chief]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and thank you in advance for any help.

Something very nice has happened to me recently and it involves a wooden propeller. I was a flight instructor about 10 years ago and was recently contacted by an old student. He came across a prop that his dad had in his basement. He offered it up to me and it now hangs on my wall.

I am told that the prop was in service during WW2 on an Avro Anson.

The markings on the prop read,

S&S Aircraft Limited Winnipeg
DRG.200.D.
Dia 88
Fit 75
July 1942
SER.R.156
A6114

There are some other markings, but the characters are illegible,
OXF_VO
CHEFT_H

Any help identifying what these markings mean or any info on the prop would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom

Greetings Tom and welcome to the forum.

Your prop is from a RCAF Airspeed Oxford that was powered by two AW Cheetah radial engines. It was used as a trainer, a flying classroom for navigators and wireless ops, often with the Commonwealth Training Scheme that taught British and Commonwealth aircrew in the safer skies over Canada during WW2.

With kind regards,

Bob
