question WW2 Clarktor pictures

[Towbarlover]

Are there any WW2 US AAF Clarktor Aircraft Tugs pictures available in action on Anglo / American airfields?

Or pictures of tugs presently in preservation?

Would love to see these.

Not USAAF but I have an image of an RAF one in use towing a refuelling trailer if that's any use?

Here's one:

 

 

It should be possible to figure out where it was taken from the markings on the Clarktor.

My favourite is a stateside image:

 

 

Not sure of the location of this, but an interesting one:

Yes sir you have a misfire, I'll take a quick look then.:???

Since it's a Typhoon it's more likely "Yes sir, you probably are feeling dizzy-it's the carbon dioxide filling up the cockpit, let me take a look at those seals"

 

It's almost certainly a staged picture for the benefit of the camera.

Do you know the location of this photo? Looks like it could be RAF Newchurch on Romney Marsh in Kent.
