Re: General theme for Hawker Hurricane during Phoney War and BoF

Hi Faenor,

From "British Military Aircraft Serials 1912-1966" by Bruce Robertson (1966 Ed):
P2535 - 3264, Hawker Hurricane I
Built by Gloster Aircraft, 2-blade Watts propeller fitted up to P2681,
3-blade Rotol airscrews fitted from P2682.

Your assessment of 3-bladed prop for P2819 is reasonable. Not definitive, as in other discussions, I have noted an occasional discrepancy with the data in this book, but very, very likely.

I will go through Peter Cornwall's book again and see if there is any mention of 'G' L1679.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to prove any point, I am just presenting you with what information I have - acting as a "Devil's Advocate" in a manner. If you have other information at hand, or if someone comes up with differing information that points in another direction and hopefully arrives at a reasonable conclusion, then I'm happy to come along for the ride.

Regards, ...geoff
