what the hell is that vehicle in the lower right? Jeep and firefighting trailer?


but wow, Steve thought I meant the lower left ( he was facing south instead of north, and looking in a mirror, and thought I said my left, his right, while trying to point to it behind he head.. and that is the best I can come up with for getting your left and right confused... ) but hey, he came though with an incredible asset, the military guide to USA WW2 military vehicles. http://radionerds.com/index.php/TM_9-2800


and I hadn't even noticed that! Cool find!


A Jeep facing right with a trailer parked in front of drop tanks, and with a fold up top extended?

at Kings Cliffe air base where the 20th Fighter Group were stationed between 26 August 1943 and 11 October 1945.

  2. Those aren't drop tanks, those look like high pressure oxygen cylinders. My guess would be that the Jeep is towing a trailer full of oxygen cylinders used to replenish the breathing oxygen supply on aircraft. And, it looks like there's a bicycle parked behind the trailer.
