Help with identification please

[eagle770]

We have just been given a wooden propeller and would like to identify possible aircraft uses.
It is marked-
Z8030 then some unintelligible numbers
D5.75
P3.27
97683
and the remains of a decal for 'The Airscrew Co & JICWOOD Ltd, Weybridge.

Thank you for any help available

The drawing number doesn't appear on this long list, but if some of the numbers are unintelligible then you have to wonder about the other numbers that seem to be.

Can you post a photo of the prop and a close-up of the numbers? I can't tell you how many times we've tried to track down numbers only to find that they weren't the correct ones.

And please photograph the decal. I haven't seen this variation of the Airscrew Co decal before.

With kind regards

Bob

I don't have that drg no listed. It is post WW2 and for a small light aircraft. The shortest Airscrew Co prop I have recorded is 6ft for the Auster; c.f. yours at five ft nine ins.

Sorry for the slow response but have been away. Please find attached photographs. I did check the list before asking the question.

Hi,

There are some 69" x 39" props (and other approaching size and pitch) on Luton LA4 a/c fitted with a Lycoming O-145-A2 (from list by FAA "ENGINES AND PROPELLERS FITTED TO LAA AIRCRAFT").

Regards,
PM
