It’s always a good place to visit and have a good ferret around. You never come away empty-handed. Barry is a very amenable sort of chap and usually has the kettle on.

Those wheels look like Meteor mains to me. It was proposed on this forum a while back that they were Wyvern pattern but I’d put money on those particular ones being Meteor. Perhaps they used exactly the same wheel and tyre?

Meteor wheel type is: AH 8725

Tyre size is: 30 x 9.00-15 or 32 x 10.00-15

Hi Anon,
Yes i am already aware Wyvern and Meteor mains are very similar, if not identical. I have two sets, both with different AH no’s and both the same size for Wyvern at 30 x 9.00 – 15 (the same you quoted for Meteor). But i have not seen Meteor wheels fitted with this style of tyre tread.. they usually seem to have a straight groove cut around the circumferance.. where as Wyvern’s are always ‘knobbly’ as shown. But nevertheless you may have seen both?!

Don’t mean to offend anyone 🙂 It’s just the first time I hear about this 🙂

No problem ;).

The two Wright 2600 engines for the B25 are there complete with nacelles.. one of which can be seen in the first block of pics. I think someone was referring to the stripped radial engine seen in the engine stand in the second block of photos. A Centaurus or Hercules maybe?

What these you mean? 😀

I did wonder what that was from… but your a better man than me for recognising it as Typhoon / Tempest.
