Default Blackburn B-48 'Firecrest'? - Blackburn B-48 YA-1 Firecrest RT651 proto.jpg

Michael - my thought is that it is caused by the camera - perhaps shutter
speed or other issues. Here is an image of the same plane or type showing
the opposite, with the prop tips swept forward, for what it is worth.

Let me go off on an OT tangent, if I may (and if I may not, ignore me, or
point me to group where that stuff is on-topic, please):

In a lot of in-flight pictures of prop planes, the props are slightly bent
backwards at the tips. Why is that? Since the prop is pulling the plane, I
would expect the thing to bend forward, if anything.
