Karl - I know nothing about John's trailer apart from the pictures,
but I'd be interested to see long-term tyre consumption figures for
it - I think the long wheelbase between the axles will cause a lot of
scrubbing. I can see that they are spaced wide apart to leave room
for the tri-gear main legs & wheels, but it's not obvious from the
pictures how the aircraft departs the trailer, as the rear wheels &
mudguards appear to be in the way of a straightforward roll-off.

Rowland
