I recently picked up a tail wheel that I thought was possibly Hurricane….wondering if anyone could confirm?
numbers on tyre…112F3472. Other identifiers are S 190/3 (cat5?) WL14 on 1 side with 31025 on the other 31204
the hub looks as though it has DU62796 (looks like U could be O)
Thanks for any help

The tyre looks very much to be a Dunlop 4.00 x 3 1/2. Without an AH-number for the rim it will be difficult to say what it belonged to. This kind of tyre was fitted to a wide variety of aircraft, from Avro Anson up to Spitfire apparently, and anything in between. A lot of them were re-used form NOS on 1940s and 1950s sailplanes: Slingsby, EoN, etc.

A picture would help. Is it 4.00 x 3 1/2 or a larger one?
