In December, work had begun on the propeller in the foreground.
The three blades are made of wood with a plastic coating and were
badly nicked and scratched. David Wilson carefully sanded each blade
and added wood where required. Here, the blade is ready for coating
with a polyester resin which will then be filed to shape.
