Could anybody please help to identify the following part Nos.

SS57298E1 the first 'S' on this piece looks faint, like it could be a bad stamping. This piece also carries two circled numbers 'EEP 429 & EEP 804'.

The other part bears the numbers G60435 & 57298E2, also EEP798 & a circled 635.

Thanking you all in advance,
Paul (MZ924)

Dear Paul, The part numbers you have on the parts are indicating this Halifax was from the English Electric factory that built Halifaxes.

The EEP numbers are stamps of inspectors of this factory.
The SS57298E1 means that this part is made from Halifax blueprint 57298
E means it is a part from a flying control, automatic or manual

Obviously 57 is the Halifax model number so it could be off a Mark 1 or Mark 2 or Mark 3 aircraft.

Cheers, Karl Kj.

Halifax Rotol Blade

December 26 2005, 11:27 PM 

I am trying to identify the propeller blade I have.
Rough dimension fits to Rotol one Halifax.
This is a wooden poppeler with "BAL" and BE + number markings on its mounting part.
I will sent pictures as soon as sb is ready to help me.
Best regards

The Merlin powered Halifaxes had laminated wooden propeller blades, not metal. This means that this blade if from a Halifax is from a MK I or MK II, possibly a MK 5. If the propeller was found/recovered in Poland it could be from a Halifax that flew from Italy to Poland or N. Africa to Poland for dropping supplies over Warsaw.

Cheers, Karl
