Re: Need ID of Spitfire ??oX FL Wheels Down & Burned on Beach at Dunkirk
 

I may be wrong, but I think this was discussed here previously?

A possibly significant feature of this aeroplane is that it almost certainly has a Rotol propellor. This is either one of the relatively few metal bladed Rotol aircscrews (they were a mag alloy) or else the wooden-bladed version, which would surely put it rather later than the 'Dunkirk' period?

Andy,

Does this mean that if it was "one of the relatively few metal bladed Rotol aircscrews (they were a mag alloy)" that it could then be one of the Dunkirk forced-landings? Or does this rule it out of the Dunkirk period completely?
