A friend of mine owns these and was told they are off a Hawker Sea Hawk, but I wasn’t overly convinced! The wheels are marked “Drawing No. AH420, Issue 12” and are about 13 and1/2 inches in diameter (35cm).The tyres have an outside diameter of about 20 and 1/2 inches . The tyres bear the markings 9.50-12 and also PA-33 and the letter “v” both these markings are surrounded by circles.
I posted these on Fighter Control and so far we’ve come as far as Fairy Swordfish..
A few members from FC advised me to post the photo’s on this forum.!
Thanks in advance M

I’ve sent the details to the Fleet Air Arm as well but I’m really convinced now they are from a Swordfish…
Thanks everyone,, Mark
