That question has been forwarded to the owner of this tailwheel.

Thanks for all the suggestions till now!

Attached scan is from a reprint of AP2019, modern title "The Mosquito Manual". The publication contains pilots instructions and maitenance instructions for the Mosquito.
To my eyes, the stucture supporting the recovered wheel does not match the diagram.

I think you're right, Grant Let's rule out the Mossie.

Brian Gough alluded to the "Blenheim" and I believe he is correct, the fork is the same and the interior 'half curved" bracing is the same as Bolingbroke(RCAF types), with the exception of the V-type rubber wheel used for paved runways for wet conditions, cheers Darrell

From a data plate on the fork:

Type No. A8158
Serial No. WB/ACC 7446
Issue No. 7

Does this help to ID this tail wheel?

Thanks!
