What tailwheels are these?

[ATTACH]171619[/ATTACH]Tyre diameter needs to be about 18″

Correction………
The 18″ tyre is the later twin contact type,the earlier `balloon tyres are 21″ diameter,the hub in both cases is @ 7.5 ” tyre size for twin contact tyre is 10.oo- 5.25

Think you should be looking at Air Ministry` suggestions..much nearer the mark..yes a Dunlop AH prefix would nail it !!

Consensus of opinion in the Stirling Project is……..

Not Stirling!:(

If these are indeed from a Stirling what is the deal lately with Stirling bits all of a sudden?

What size would they be then Martin?

11″ Stirling tailwheels….Come on !!!!!

Hi Cees,

We have 2 wheels both different sizes, I think I know which one is Stirling, so in other words we need one at least:o

If they are Stirling we have 2 tail legs which are crying out for them:D:D

And the tailwheel which I gave to Pino then some years ago?

Cheers

Cees

Seriously though, roughly where are/were they located as this may help to determine from which scrapyard/aircraft they were recovered from

John

I would have to more research, the info is available, my gut feeling is that because there are two maybe they were spares that were slid off a shelf.
I cant see anybody going to the trouble of retreiving them from two aircraft?

Regards

I’m not sure there is enough info to identify the wheel – try looking for a Dunlop Drawing Number, usually prefixed AHO, or a Palmer Drawing Number.

The tyres could have been used on the tailwheel of any of the following:-

Anson, Albemarle (awaits silly comment), Battle, Fulmar, Hurricane, Swordfish, Hurricane, Lysander, Oxford, Defiant.

More info about the wheel would help narrow the list.

Stirling?
