Thanks, I've managed to get a copy of this book from the local library & there on p.172 is a picture of the very same trailer as mine. The caption to the picture says 'Bristol Siddeley turbo starter unit as used in 1964 for starting the Bristol Siddeley Orpheus engines of the Gnats at No 4 Flying Training School, Valley (Bristol Siddeley).

Thanks for that- I will investigate.

When I bought this 7 or 8 years ago I investigated the Gypsy, Champ, Land Rover & also looked at a Willys but they all turned out to be a different stud pattern so I put it to one side until now. This wheel is very narrow at 3" and the stud pattern is very wide with a pcd of about 190mm or 7.48" but many thanks for your help.

I have been removing some of the paint today & have found some signwriting over the original blue. There is some gross weight and I think unladen weight lettering in about 1" tall plain font & 'prime mover lead inside'. Also a further sign in red lettering on a white background 'Danger keep clear - hot?- exhaust'.

Does anyone out there have any idea what trailer this is? My main problem is that I have only one wheel but I have bodged one up so I can move it around. It is a 16" 5 stud wheel, made by Dunlop, made in England. There are a few other markings on the rim, DRC 3.00, which I presume is Dunlop Rubber Co 3" rim, LR or possibly LP followed by 567 & also G13. The PCD is approx. 187mm & the hole in the centre is approx. 150mm. The brakes are Girling with 9" drums. It was originally finished in RAF blue & may have come from RAF Halton which is nearby as I frustratingly saw an identical one pass me by one day whilst driving locally. I'm new on this and not particularly good on computers so I hope this works. Thanks for looking.
