A friend of mine in France looks after an airworthy Vampire T11.
He has contacted me as he needs a serviceable mainwheel inner tube.
The part number he has given me is 26-7.75/13.
If anybody has one which they are willing to sell or knows of anybody that might have one I would be very interested to hear from them.
Thanks a lot.
Joe 🙂

XE921
Well, after someone posted a shot of her in this months Flypast, a gentleman who flew her whilst she was on CFS duties contacted me with a photo:)
He was on the CFS when at Little Rissington and tells me XE921 served there 3.9.56 to 27.9.63. He took this photo as she returned to the line.

Well done on saving her – she was a real bargain – looked fab externally… if you need a port boom let me know!

Excellent news Baz, a new project for the fold, you will have to purchase some land and obtain some whole aircraft, a Hunter maybe!

Got a photo of it just entering service with Baz’s private airforce
& then, as if by magic, I find myself recalled from leave & conscripted onto the ground handling flight, within that very same organisation.
I was paid most handsomely though, receiving a magnificent 1:100 Stuka in a presentation box, for my efforts. 😀

Went Monday, she is in the hangar back here.
Space on the trailer? couldn’t get the Hunter on as well:eek:

When are you off to the Isle of Wight Barry ? And will you have spare space on the trailer ?

How about Alan Allen? He’s a bit of a Vampire expert. That’s certainly a tyre size rather than a part number, you could try Watts Aviation in the UK as they do most of our rubber at Duxford. We just give them a size and that’s all they need.

Contact Desser Tyres in the USA: www.desser.com/
They’ll probably be able to suggest a solution or source if unable to supply an aviation part.
G’day 😉

That looks more like a tyre size than a part number. Bournemouth may be able to help…
