    Hi Jon,

    Chipmunk main tyre size is 6.00 x 6 1/2 with p/n of DN3065 (sec/ref 27A/2500) or DB3065

    I do have a 1960 dated Dunlop Aviation Equipment Manual which lists the Pembroke having the same nose tyre as the Chipmunk main, but the Prince is not listed at all. As a matter of interest the Pembroke is listed as being equipped with Dunlop tyres,wheels and brakes, this may explain why the Prince has a different tyre/wheel size as it’s fitted with Palmer wheels & brakes?

    The only aircraft listed with tyres of 7.25 x 7 3/4 size are the Prentice & Provost, the tyre having a Dunlop part number of DR6610.

    Hope that helps!

    Best regards

    Dave

    Ok…wasnt expecting that!! Cheers for looking it up 🙂

    Provost wise we talking piston or Jet? Guessing the former given the vintage but never hurts to check 🙂

    Sorry forgot to add earlier I think the hubs are made by Palmer.

    Afternoon all,

    On the hunt for more bits 😀

    2 x nose wheels and tyres please is the current requirement. Like the mains these have been filled with concrete, but unlike the mains nothing is salvagable…. 🙁

    Tyre size is 7.25 x 7 3/4 with a p/n of 27A/4675.

    As for the hubs best I can do is a picture as they are truly stuffed (see attached). I am hoping that with the AM part numbers found on the tyres that they are the same as Sea Prince nose wheels to help cast the net further so to speak. Also a few people have suggested they MAY be the same as Chipmunk but happy for some expert input to confirm that either way 🙂

    Cheers as always,
    Jon

    Why oh why does the PM system on this forum have such a restrictive limit, it’s annoying deleting usefull messages all the time, and composing a reply only for it not to be sent due to filling the PM boxes.
    Surely a forum of this popularity and size should have a better system by now?
    Probably not the right place for this winge, but I don’t frequent the other areas.

    Not bad for free though you have to admit!

    If you want to keep a message just copy and paste it into something like Word or Notepad.

    It flew through a hanger in the same film aswell I think ?
    I agree with Wyvernfan. come see `James Bonds jet fighter` could be a draw. I read recently that Elvington have seen a lot more interest in the C47 since the last film.

    I will come over and see your museum soon. It looks like a real treasure trove.

    Ben

    Except it wasnt the fighter in the James Bond film.

    Though the guys do have THE gondola off the airship used in “A View to a Kill”

    Has anyone got any pics of A/C based at Badginton, Coventry, during the period 1946 to 1976 please?

    Gemini & Proctors of special interest.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Same for the 2D in the Sea Hawk – both of which I am looking for to go in 838!
