      Maybe 232's prop? Didn't they trim the trailing edge down on some of the steel Sea Fury props at one time? Cut it to the spar in the prop or something like that? To make a narrower chord?

        That was on the prop type that is wider in chord by way of an extra bit of flange added to the trailing edge, which was modified by grinding the flange down progressively further out towards the tip.

        This here appears to be the narrower type that never had a flange to begin with...

              I know it's not 232's prop, it has 2 yellow stripes on the tip and it was sitting on a yellow prop stand and in one or two of those recent pictures you can see the yellow stand behind bear with the prop on it.

              And he posted them to the rare bear fan page on Facebook Wayne
