Jupiter Missile GSE -- Transporter Liquid Oxygen

Recommended Posts

Among the many items of Ground Servicing Equipment for the Jupiter missile was a "Transporter - Liquid Oxygen". This was a long cylindrical tank trailer with a twin wheeled two axle bogie.

 

I believe this vehicle was also used in the UK in support of the Thor missiles. In RAF service it was used with a Leyland tractor unit. I am aware of the photo on the rafmtd site.

 

Can anybody provide further details - official designation, manual references, dimensions etc?

 

Details of the official colour scheme(s), reportedly red and white, would be extremely helpful.
