AH10245 Issue 11 wheels. "Any use?"

Bob,

If they are a type fitted to the Barracuda, Bluebird Mike might be your man, or at least good for suggestions.

I think all his swap items might be Gnat parts, though!

According to the person I got the wheels from, new tyres were fitted some years ago, as the originals were done for, the originals were smooth, with no tread.

I know of them for their car tyre production, but I wasn’t aware of any aviation tyre production (but that’s not to say they didn’t have any!)

They also made the soles for German army boots 🙂

Their parent company started producing rubber products in Wimpassing, Austria in 1850 and the company name Semperit was introduced in 1906.

I know of them for their car tyre production, but I wasn’t aware of any aviation tyre production (but that’s not to say they didn’t have any!)

Semperit tyres

The tyres are marked- SEMPERIT made in Austria. 10.0//80-12 PRO 8.50-12.
I don’t think these were the original tyres.

Ah that would explain it, thanks.

Early Firebrand, later Marks used AH8379.

Dont think they are Firebrand!

Thanks AirMin, hopefully they will find a suitable home.

Mathieu-
I am not sure if the tyres that are fitted, are the originals, however I will have a look & will let you know what details I can see.

Hi,

What is the size of the tire? Possibly this rims were used on the Fokker G.1. But I’ve to check the manual before I know for sure.

Regards,

Mathieu.
