The wheel-from what type of the plane ?

5 Attachment(s)

From what type of airplane comes this wheel ? Can it be a part of the DH. 98 Mosquito ? The scale under wheel on picture wheel.1 is 20 cm long.

Isn't AM the Aeroplane & Motor Co. Ltd? In this case with the crown it looks likely to be Air Min?

Would there be a crown over the AM if it was this company mentioned?

I think that AM is Air Ministry.

NOT a Mosquito wheel. The hub is wrong and so is the proportion of the tyre.

Of course, just because the tyre is air ministry, does not mean that the wheel is. The nearest match that I have found is a boat trailer wheel.

Some Avro Anson s flew in former czechoslovak air force after war. Very probably one of them is source of mentioned wheels.
