The aircraft in question was the Hawker Tomtit. Cant remember what engine
it had, but was some kind of early radial.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the 'history' of my prop.
Thanks,
Martin

OOPS
Well, Vic, was there a Hawker trainer that was similar in size and type
to
the Moth?? Methinks I assumed (there's that word again) that the
airplane
I was thinking about was so named. If there is such an airplane....now
where's that blasted reference book on the RAF...it's around here
someplace....

Oh dear
The Hawker Hart was a light bomber, powered by a 525hp Roll-Royce
Kestrel
engine. The prop would have been much larger than a Gipsy Major's
