The propeller was found on the isle of Arran off the west coast of ScotlandA propeller thought to be from a Second World War plane has been found wrapped in potato sacks in a peat bog.
Derek Alexander, head of archaeology for the National Trust for Scotland , which cares for the land where the propeller was found, said: 'We are intrigued by the discovery of the propeller blade, which certainly looks to be from a WWII plane. 'There are two previously known plane crash sites further up the glen on the steep cliff side of Beinn Nuis, but this object was found outside the mapped spread of debris from both of these, which has caused some uncertainty around which aircraft they belong to.
It is working with the relevant organisations before any further work can be carried out on the latest discovery. The crash site closest to where the propeller blade was found is that of the B24 Liberator, which came down on August 24, 1943, killing all 11 crew and passengers on board
