Maybe a Mosquito?

The reason I mention this is the Mossie often used a 'twin' type tyre like this one.

Your suggestion has cachet Keith as there were many Mossie sorties across the North Sea to attack German shipping in Norway although the Mosquito suffered the lowest operational losses of any aircraft in WWII. The Mossie did have a fully castering tailwheel as the one in the pic appears to be. Derek.
