One of the Lancasters propellers, minus a blade. A remarkable find considering this
                propeller impacted the ground at speed. One can only assume this was from one of
                  the damaged Merlin's and therefore the propeller stopped having been feathered
                 when the aircraft impacted with the ground, the 3rd blade having been ripped from
                                             the propeller boss on impact.
