The links below show a tail wheel found on a farm in Northumberland. Can anyone help identify it?

Numbers on the wheel are as follows:
DRG No. A-H9278
Serial No. R107104
AHM309
C303A
The only aircraft to have crashed in the vicinity of this farm are two Wellington bombers and a Mustang. It’s obviously not from either of the Wellington’s, but can it be from the Mustang?
I look forward to any comments.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Rocketeer!
Sorry for this but I noticed a typo with the AH number, it should read:
A-H8278.
Hope this helps!

Looked in my list…nothing….need better info, i.e. tyre size and AH or AHO number as accurately as possible

Hi Chaps,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have not seen the wheel myself, its in the grounds of a private estate, so I can’t comment on size or numbers on the tyre unfortunately. However, judging from the fence behind it is quite small.
I think those numbers are going to be my best hope.
Looking forward to more replies!

Well the numbers you’ve quoted sound like U.K. Dunlop parts so I would have thought the Mustang was unlikely.
I can’t pick it up from the numbers so is there anything on the tyre that might help? The size is usually a good clue.

can it be from the Mustang?
I’m afraid it cannot
Good luck, anyway.
