Westland Dragonfly Helicopter

Looking for tail rotor blades also undercarriage parts.

Does anyone know the wheel and tyre used on the nose and is it common to anything else ?.

Hi Mike,

I have a 1960s Dunlop Aviation Equipment brochure that lists the following tyre sizes for the Dragonfly:

6.00- 6 1/2 Smooth tread

4 ply

p/n for Nylon material: DS.3065
p/n for Rayon material: IAER.25

Tyre size/ply is same for Chipmunk and some Auster main wheels but with different tread patterns and therefore different p/n.

Sorry, no info on wheels at all.

Hope that helps.

Regards
Dave

Many thanks for that Dave I will pass it on.

Fear not guys we are not being invaded by hairdryers.The lads in Malta have a Dragonfly on its way in fact the tail boom and some stuff has arrived already but the aircraft has been robbed extensively for another one so needs some help.
