Wheel/tyre ID assistance

Thank you chaps – tad embarrassed that I didn’t try the Dunlop site first as it’s not long since I used it to ID another tyre. .oops! So we’re at a point where the tyre is certainly of the type fitted to Britannia 200 series but the rim which is definitely an AH40xxx would seem to remain a wildcard. I’ll do some work on the stamp and report back.
Thanks very much for everyone’s help so far 🙂

The RAF Brit 253 appears (from a poor copy of the aircrew manual to an unknown amendment state) to have had a nose wheel AH50916 Ref 27A/3951, with a tyre Type DC 7666T Ref 27A3975 dimpled tread, Nylon, 12 ply 32 x 8.8-16 in

Dunlop’s own aircraft tyre website seems to back the Britannia suggestion –

If you put the size ( I just put 32 cos it didn’t work with 32×8.8) in the search box then click Select beside the Britannia, you get a lot of other info.
Hope there’s something there of help.

It will indeed, not knowing is ever so irritating!

Ok Timbo, will be good to find out, I will keep looking in here for the other experts answers.

Thanks for your suggestion Trolly – I looked at Devon and Heron but nothing tied up. It remains unidentified at present though Bills Britannia punt seems a good contender

DH114 Heron ?

Thanks Bill, it certainly looks the part for Brit so you may well be on to something.
Standing by! 🙂

Hi TT,
Looked through my lists and only aircraft that uses tyre size of:- 32″x8.8″ is the Brittannia 200. And that Dunlop wheel part No is:- AH 50151.

Other Brits used nose wheel sizes varying from 32″ to 35″. It certainly looks that era of wheel ( 3 Piece Flange and should be tubeless. ) Somewhere I have a CD of Brittannia Spares Lists, but don’t think it is the 200 series. I’ll post back here if anything apply’s anyhow.
