The object was discovered by a contractor who was conducting peatland restoration works, but its origins remain uncertain.
A Second World War artifact has been found wrapped in potato sacks under mysterious circumstances in a remote area of peatland.The object in question—an aircraft's propeller blade—was spotted at Coire a'Bhradain on the Isle of Arran, located off the west coast of Scotland.The discovery of the propeller blade has sparked an investigation by experts from the National Trust for Scotland—a conservation organization that protects the country's natural and cultural heritage.
'Because the crash sites on the island have been well-documented, it is possible to narrow down the type of plane involved to two American heavy bombers: a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress or a B-24 Liberator designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego.However, both of these planes used the same sort of propeller blades, which has added to the confusion.
