Nut, closed at present due CVD.....

I think he mostly supplies instruments, but you could try GB Air Spares: Great British Aircraft Spares (http://www.gbairspares.co.uk/) He might know of another source if he doesn't deal with these items himself.

[Rallye Driver]

You could try contacting Ken at the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron. They operate two Vampires, so may have contacts for tyres.

[ORAC]

On those lines there are a whole list of current operators who might have one they could spare. Some, such as Lebanon, may be more willing to sell than others.

Found a Dove one

Found a Dove one

But its Size is 7.25 x 6 according to the ad.

[NutLoose]

I know, but refer to post one.
Hence the reason for posting it as he can see it's a different size, but there might have been a mod to fit them as a replacement, I don't know, so again I posted for that too.

Thanks for explaining :ok:
