My Friend has asked for the following can anyone help

Thanks

Graham

I have an -with no propeller hub. I have the three blades . I am trying to assemble a display engine that will run.
I can't even find a part number to identify the hub assembly.
I believe it is interchangeable with th Pratt&Whitney R985, but I dont know that for fact

Hi Graham, not in my area of expertise I'm afraid. Some blade part numbers and more information on the engine to which the assembled propeller is to be fitted would be useful to those folk who know about these things, I would imagine. Regards, Aerial

The Alvis Works

CFS have all the part numbers as they overhaul these props.

Funny enough CFS are on the old Alvis works!!!

To be strictly accurate CFS occupy what was the Alvis test facility where they tested their aero engines and the various military vehicles they produced.

The "works" or factory was in Coventry - a site on Holyhead Road now occupied by a retail park :(
