I believe the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the CWH Lancasters both solved the tyre problem by adopting the Shackleton wheel and tyre assemblies. They fit the Lanc landing gear just fine and are in good supply.

The Mosquito in British Columbia should be flying next year. It will be only the second airworthy one flying in the world. Australia beat us last year, but I think the airframe they restored was ex-Canadian manufacture. If I am correct, then Canada will have bragging rights for a while in the Mosquito world!
