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.

regards

Rowland
