That prop is on the cuff. 

If you look at any of the blades, it appears to me that any prop blast would try to turn the prop counter-clockwise...which is backwards.  Just saying that's what it appears like to me.  I understand those guys operating the airplane knew what they were doing...sometimes camera angles play with your vision.  Could it be that the film developing reversed, like you're seeing #1 prop, not #4?  Look at the leading edge of the "#3" engine blade in view...it's on the wrong side.

AMPTestFE..I commend your attention to detail. I am positive that slide was at Song Be...I found a box of slides and scanned a bunch into my computer. You take a right off the runway and right onto the ramp. That is #1 and the slide is reversed,,,I will rescan it. The items on the ramp were not as I remembered them...Now they make sense...

No problem. I found about 10 I scanned backwards. These slides were a treasure of memories. I had forgotten about them but found them a couple of years ago. They are in remarkable condition for being almost 50 years old....I will get this one rescanned..Thanks for pointing this out.
