A picture of a pair of wheels has popped up on my Facebook, donated to the New Farm Aviatin Heritage Group in Norfolk. Looks to me to be AH80025 but the ‘8’ isn’t so clear. Photo here; https://www.facebook.com/133132700163638/photos/pcb.1060830890727143/1060829814060584/?type=3&theater
Any ideas ?

Thanks chaps, I’ve posted an update with a link to this thread. Overnight someone else has come to the same conclusion. Jeff

Numbers aside, they do look like Master/Martinet wheels

Hi Kite Flyer,
My Dunlop lists show no AH 80025 but do show AH 50025 Mainwheels which are Viscount and Discovery ? (whatever that one is ? ). Those wheels are definately earlier than Viscount,etc,period. so assuming that 8 is not an 8 only other 0025 with a digit on front is:- AH 10025 and that is for the WW2 Martinet TT1 and Master 2 and 3. I increased size of pic and that 8 is almost certainly a thick 1 with marks on.
Those wheels are WW2 period, and my money is on:- Martinet and Master Aircraft. Nice pair, well worth restoring to static display condition. Nice find. Bill T.
