Lynn is correct, the Loyd fan does blow. ISTR that when Bob first restored his Loyd and took it to a Bovington battle day, it had a 'normal' fan fitted. The dust it hoovered in to the engine and into the crew compartment was a real problem! I'm fairly sure he found or made a correct fan.

The parts list for the Starting and charging shows a very simple line drawing for the fan but it does show it as a blower.

Yes, I remember its a blower, Bob had relayed that story to me earlier :-) I should have mentioned it before.... Adrian, did the drawing show a 4 or 6 bladed fan or did it simply show the flow of air?

A six blade fan is shown. I'm sure it's just a reverse flow version of the standard fan.

I've found it in the service manual now, as you said 6 bladed.
