Aircraft found near the island of Lemnos, Greece
Hello everybody,
the fishermen of the island of Lemnos in Greece had a strange catch in their nets. They elevated a propeller from an unknown aircraft, which could be – in my opinion – a Messerschmitt BF 109. Please, if you are so kind, check the photos (s. attachments) and report whether the shown propeller could originate be a BF 109 propeller. Thanks in advance! DG |

If there are plates they should be on the front of each propellor, on the prop hub. Best luck.

These blades are tow small for a fighter aircraft - I would vote for an Ar 196.
