"All our machines were fitted with Rotol airscrews when the maximum rpm were increased to 3,850 from 3,700 and boost to +13 from +11, as the DeHaviland airscrew could not absorb the added power and more than once shed a blade, with somewhat detrimental effects on the engine!"

Meaning, they changed to the "Rotol" (brand name) airscrews when the "DeHaviland" (brand name) airscrews proved to be a problem. They ditched the airscrews, they don't say in that passage that they reverted from the boost.

There may be documents somewhere that say they did, but so far I haven't seen any quoted text in this thread that says they did.

Reverted? I would like to see they even used +13lbs at all before we start talking about reverting LOL

Can't be said in any plainer English > boost increased to +13lb.

So Brain, what other engines would not suffer detrimental damaged from loosing a prop blade.

LOL, even your LW increased the prop blade size on their a/c when extra power was developed from the engines.
