Jablo the Wood Blade
More interesting than it sounds! See the amazing time and effort that went into making and repairing the wooden propellers that were fitted to most British fighter aircraft during the second world war. Particular appeal for woodworkers, jaw dropping for the rest of us! Sprinkled lightly with droll Engish humour. 31 min, B+W
