Hi guys,
another quest for information I'm afraid. My Grandma has an old propellor hub that has been turned into a mounting for a abrometer, and has asked if I can find anything out about the aircraft it came from.
The back reads:
Y503
110hp
Le Rhone
Type 504K
G804N9
Dia 2744
Pitch 2655
Now, obviously it is from an Avro 504K with the 110hp Le Rhone engine, but beyond that I can't find anything.
Y503 is the drawing number for the propellor design (Y indicates it is an A.V.Roe design0.
I thought G804N9 might be the serial number, but I can't find any serial numbers that look like that. In RAF service during WW1, 'G' numbers were used for captured German aircraft.
Anybody have any ideas?
