Hi there,

The clue for me was the 27A/3861 Section/Reference number. This number refers to Section 27A of RAF Air Publication AP1086, which is the vocabulary of stores. Section 27A is for wheel equipment other than Dunlop.

The second part of the 27A number, in this case 3861, refers directly to the wheel in question. Looking up reference number 3861 in section 27A comes up with the following:

And as can be seen the listing is for Skeeter Mark 6

Hope that clarifies!

Dave
