Hello all,
I am new to this forum, but thought it the best place to describe my discovery. I initially mistakenly - after reading this website more - listed this item in the "early" propeller forum.
I have found in my attic a WWII (1942) S&S Aircraft Ltd. ( Winnipeg ) Avro Cheetah Mk. X propeller in astonishing condition - nothing done to it! 100% original! I am hoping to post pix shortly:
Measurements: Length 88"
Depth at hub 6 1/2"
Brass leading edge, 8 bolt holes, 8 laminated hardwood (Maple?, Hickory? Ash?), S&S gold/red winged logo clear as day on both blades.
Markings on blades / hub :
SER. R. 1397
DRG. 200.D
DIA 88"
PIT 7.5"
Cheetah Mk. X
Oxford
June 1942
Not sure what plane it may be from . any ideas?
Any interest and / or info would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg
