Did the Brits use wooden props on all the spitfires?

Lots of different marks of Spitfires.
Most of them had wooden prop blades.
Some had aluminum blades, so no, not all.

Great pics Mark.
Thanks

The modeller in me, loves these images but on both my computers (Mac and PC (W.10), the pictures are too big for the screen and I have to either scroll or right click and select view image, to see the whole picture!

Can anyone advise if this is a set-up issue with my computers or due to the original size of the pictures when posted?

As mentioned I can obviously Right Click and select View Image to see the complete image on the screen but gets a bit tedious doing this each time so if this is a set up issue with both my Mac and PC (W.10), does anyone have advise on how to correct it?

Many thanks,
Tony

Tony, if you use a PC with a mouse with a wheel then you can hold the "Ctrl" key down and scroll forward or backward with your wheel on the mouse to resize your view.

I know the UK government like changing County boundaries every now and again but expanding Lincolnshire as far as Hampshire is a bit too much, about 150 miles too much. :)
