Re: Propblade, wood
The round tip shape would rule out a Spitfire, which was perhaps the most obvious wooden propellor. It suggests P-51, but did they have wooden props? Similarly Mosquito.
Could it be German?

a German fighter is not impossible but apart from "Bodenplatte" they were not seen around or very seldom. So the option is in the back of my head regards Sealander

Re: Propblade, wood
Going with the suggestion that it is a slower aircraft:
Too big a chord for an AOP, such as an Auster or an L-4. Might be a transport. Most North American built transports had metal props (Dakota and Norseman), but Ansons were used on transports flights to the Continent in that time frame. Take a look at http://www.lancastermuseum.ca/photos/p_anson2.jpg I think the tip has been eroded some, look at the step at the end of the brass strip. There used to be more wood there, I think.
