Actually, swamp fan or air boat would have been my answer

Here's another longshot: wind simulator fan for movie sets

No and no.
Sry, just changed my answer above, i had understood you wrongly
It is not a vehicle built for the recovery of parts, nor is it a swamp boat/glider/fan. But there is something about aircraft wreckage and it being used for.. something else.

Connect the dots .. slouch hat, Africa, ... i fear you kill me when all is being revealed

Hint: There once was peace, and a fair to be held. A famous german aviator of the time was forbidden to fly across certain british parts of Africa by plane, by british authorities.
So he and his plane made the journey by (a civilian) ship. 1st officer of said ship was a friend of my family. They arrived, and war broke out. WW1. The fair did not take place.

^ No, not a dirigible/Zeppelin's engine. Would have loved to post a pic of naval "Africa-airship" L-59 (operation China-Show), the first airship to cover 6000+ miles non stop in WW1, but this would have been too easy i think.

ok one more hint: this is indeed the engine of an aeroplane, with its propellor attached.

Steve and Jim should know, but maybe they hold back?

bullhorn

Come on.. a boat or skimmer is only one of possible devices, to put something like that on.

Another hint, though "at the other side" in a ****way: African Queen. but the real one.
