-Hello,
Thank you for the link but it's not very clear. Sorry.
I added 2 photos of my wheel.
Could you confirm that it's a hurricane's wheel ? Or could it be another aircraft ?
Thank you.

-In that thread it says:
According to A.P.1086, Section 27A, a AHO5048/IX wheel was fitted to some Albemarles, Ansons, Defiants, Hurricanes and Lysanders
So it could be a Hurricane wheel, or it could be from another aircraft in that list

-A third confirmation, definitely Hurricane MkII. The plate on the 'tail wheel leg' where you read E6583, should also be marked 'Dowty'. Odd to have green paint though. See PM.

Hello,
I bought recently a tail wheel and its leg from a crashed aircraft.

Tail wheel :

Electrically conducting
WM14
5014 2
31260 (one side) / 31261 (other side)
Hub :
DRG N° AHO 5048/2
Serial n° JF 100659
Tail wheel leg :
Type n° E 6583
Serial n° XZACC15168
Issue n° 10
Thank you very much for you help.
