Narrative:
First officer preflted my aircraft and found nothing wrong. I asked him if all was ok, and if he took out the engine plugs and made sure the propeller spun freely due the snow falling. His reply was, 'everything is ok.' we departed bmi to stl with no incident. After I left the aircraft in stl, it was discovered the right engine had 2 slightly bent propellers. This aircraft had run off the runway the night before by another crew. It was inspected by a mechanic and signed off as airworthy. The aircraft flew normally and I was very surprised to discover I flew a plane with 2 bent propellers.
