1. Title: "Wooden Propeller: A Symbol of Courage and Survival - The Tale of J. Willey and His Albatross D3" This evocative photograph captures the remnants of an Albatross D3 biplane, its once-majestic form now reduced to a charred, smoldering wreckage. Hanging precariously beneath the damaged aircraft is a wooden propeller, its intricate design a testament to the craftsmanship of Frederick Tibbenham of Ipswich. The propeller's transfer sign, a distinctive bumble bee, bears witness to the countless hours of flight time it has accrued. The scene is a poignant reminder of the perils faced by aviators during the First World War. The Albatross D3, with the letters RE8 or BE2E emblazoned upon its fuselage, was brought down in flames by a Sopwith triplane. The propeller, though damaged, survived the fiery crash. The story of the propeller's owner, J. Willey, is one of courage and survival. His military career began 2.5 years prior to the war in the Persian Gulf, where he served semi-actively aboard H.M.S. Fox. During the early stages of the conflict, the ship patrolled trade routes, captured merchant vessels, and escorted troops to British East Africa and the Indian Expeditionary Force across the Indian Ocean. After a brief stint in Mombasa with beriberi, Willey was invalided back to England around the beginning of February 1915. Following recovery, Willey was sent to the Torpedo School, Devonport, and later stationed at Harwich aboard H.M.S. Melpomene, under Commodore Tyrwhitt. He remained in the Melpomene until January 1917, and then served until the end of the war aboard H.M.S. Satyr. His tenure on the Satyr involved patrolling, mine-sinking, and other crucial duties. This wooden propeller, a survivor of the war and a symbol of J. Willey's resilience, stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
