WANTED: Propeller!

Post by wokka » Wed Feb 17, 2016 9:34 am

If anyone knows where I can get hold of a propeller (or even a single blade), for household ornament purposes, let me know. Obviously needs to be displayable, but the most important thing is provenance. I've seen a few in antique shops, but without knowing what it came from, I dont want it.

Thanks for any help.

How about a carbon blade from a Kiev prop, as fitted to a Eurostar EV97?

I'm certain its a fantastic prop, and looks great - not quite got the sort of ornamental value I'm after! Thanks anyway!

(perhaps I should have mentioned, historical significance is a fairly important criteria)

Ok, no problems.

Historically, this one was only a year old and took a few scrapes out of the ground last Sunday :-(
