Thank you at taafe75 and at Mitchamitri for your replies.
I bought the tent brand new in 2013 for about £750. It's been stored in my house, in its bag. I suppose ideal storage is laid out instead of packed up, but it's not practical. Apart from the AirBeams, the tent is in perfect condition.
After visiting a large camping retailer, I see that most family tents seem to be air pole style tents now. I spoke to a shop assistant and got half way through my sentence about having a Vango AirBeam before he interrupted to ask if the beam had burst. I spoke with him for some time and he said that although beams had improved, it's still common for them to burst. Unfortunately, (probably due to different manufacturers using different pole specs) they don't stock many air poles, but worse than that, they won't order them in unless its a bulk order.
Vango's campingspares.co.uk website shows a 700cm x 10cm AirBeam for my tent, not 700cm by 16cm. Searching for "700" only shows this same AirBeam, so I hope they've not discontinued AIrBeams for my tent. I've therefore filled in a contact form, and will keep you posted of their reply/customer service.
at Mitchamitri, in hindsight I wish I'd bought a stash of spare AirBeams, as the tent has affected my holidays too many times now. Maybe Vango should include a couple of spares with each tent :)
I've borrowed a tent for this weekend and hoping the rain will clear :)
