Hello, could anyone tell me please which aircraft that a tailwheel and hub with the following details may have been fitted to. It was considered to be maybe Hurricane but I’m not so sure. Of note, it was found near a crash site some years ago (not by me) together with an ASI face that reads to 320mph, which I believe to be too low a range for a Hurricane.
Hub – DRG N° AHO 5023/1 1X
Tyre – 4.95 – 3.5 (shown as half) Electrically Conducting – ZA9 – 6423289
Thanks
Richard Hall

Thanks for the replies, with the ASI reading to 320mph I assume more likely to be Battle, Fulmar.

The Mk. 1 and Mk. 2 Tipsy Nipper used the 4.95 x 3.5 tyre, but a cheaper and simpler hub.

Fairey Battle, Swordfish and Fulmar 1 and 2 tailwheel
