Re: Identification Prop blade
Hi Peter, Frank,
the only numbers I found are shown on 2 pics (661 and 662) I already posted. The length of the prop is 180 cm. The seller told be he bought it from a farmer and the father of the farmer found it close to an German airfield in South Germany called Lechfend). But if this is the truth, who knows Best regards Rolf

Re: Identification Prop blade
Hi...
Not sure it would be from a German aircraft, given that it seems to have a yellow blade tip (can't quite make out for certain). I can't say the Luftwaffe never painted their propellor tips, but it would be a very rare occurance in my experience. The only ones that I can recall off-hand that did have painted propellor tips were some of the larger seaplanes. Regards...

Re: Identification Prop blade
It looks like a VDM blade. I can't make out the number on the root but it looks like:
12-188.8? - That is generally the planform, length, and repair tolerances as well as forming the blade nomenclature. The rest of my VDM Ersatzteilliste is on microfilm so you will have to wait until I load it up again to check. Last edited by Crumpp; 10th August 2008 at 19:40. Reason: added "is"
