I'm very excited regardless!

Made a wee mistake in my earlier post; no Mk Vs were fitted with the RX5/1 (and 4) propellers (RA640 magnesium blades) - these were the rarer metal Rotols used in exactly 32 Mk Is (RX5/4, many in No. 54 Sqn, which used Rotol props exclusively) plus many early Mk IIs (RX5/1). The early wooden Rotol with RA675 blades (either Jablo or Hydulignum) I was referring to is the RX5/3, used in most Mk IIAs and early Castle Bromwich Mk VBs.

Metal props with a similar profile to the RA640 would be used in a 4 bladed hub on the HF Mk VI, some VIIs and VIIIs and a select few early Mk IXs. Wooden blades with the RA675 profile would be used in the vast majority of Mk VIIs, VIIIs and IXs.
