WWII Propeller Unearthed in Scottish Peat Bog

The discovery, wrapped in potato sacks, sparks investigation into its origins and connection to known crash sites.

A WWII aircraft propeller blade has been discovered wrapped in potato sacks in a peat bog on the Isle of Arran, prompting an investigation by the National Trust for Scotland.
The propeller may belong to either a B-17 Flying Fortress or a B-24 Liberator, both of which crashed on Arran during WWII.
The location of the find is outside the boundaries of two previously known crash sites on the island, adding mystery to its origin.
Experts are working to identify the propeller, with the possibility of matching its serial numbers to historical military records.
The discovery was made during peatland restoration work, highlighting the area's rich historical and environmental significance.
