Steve, I'm not sure I'd use second hand wheel centres - the likelihood of the splines being worn must be high. Ditto for the hubs. For peace of mind replace them.
You don't say who you met - I saw this company on line Richards Bros Wire Wheels (richards-bros.com)
Nice gauge by the way 🙂
I'm not convinced about a W&G du Cros connection - the W&G script is normally very different with an underscore. To my eyes it like W&C instead (though no idea who that could be).
Hi Peter, I've seen pics of later vans in RAF use with BABS (blind/beam approach beacon system) gear - serials RAF 156717, RAF 156992 and RAF 157062. Do you have the side panels? If so, does the passenger side have some vents at the front?
The first is a Karrier WO6; and the second a Morris Commercial D type.
