He took the decision to return to Aboyne and when putting the retractable undercarriage down, the pilot heard a "bang". He later noticed that the propeller had detatched from the aeroplane at 2000 feet. He performed a routine glide approach and landing and the aircraft suffered minor damage to the cowling.
