Still cant get any air my tubes !

Pic here - valve

Tried unscrewing it loads to the point where it let out a lot of air but so after that I screwed back and tried again without success - any ideas anyone please?!

Thanks to Chris Hornidge for his help in indentifying my valve type - ( Leafield A5 )valve,

Have you ever....

been able to get air into the tube ? Have you ever taken the valve completely out (or the previous owner / your kids / dealer) if so, could it have been replaced with the diaphragm back to front ? Just a thought !
