Has the RNZAF Museum been made aware of this?

The details of engine mark number should be sunk and inked into the hub - 305 CM probably about correct for a Walrus, although this would then be only half the prop - Walrus had TWO props clamped together to make the full 4-bladed engine to thrust converter. I think British props by this time generally had the technical details in Imperial rather than metric, and even if in metric it would be in millimetres rather then centimetres. Most Walrus props would be marked with Pegasus VI from memory, although early ones would have a much earlier mark number. Sometimes the technical details have been poorly applied in first place, or sanded down with time. The RNZAF Museum has at least part of a Walrus prop (Mk. VI).
