No, Fred, it is not an aircraft wheel and it is much lighter than that one
looks and has a plastic shield each side which is stationary when the wheel
turns. My camera is U/S at the moment, but when I get it repaired I will
attach a photo. I have to send the camera away, so it may be some while.
I'll see if the supplier has a web catalogue.
Best wishes,
William
