Recent puncture was caused by valve failure, something I have not seen before.

I'd be more concerned with a wheel failure, looking at the corrosion on that rim. :-[
How long has that been sat around, no wonder the inner parted company with the stem.

I am stripping Jonny's crashed 2.2 for spares, so putting on my worst 4 wheels. This one would not even inflate.
