Towbarlover Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 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. Towbarlover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Not USAAF but I have an image of an RAF one in use towing a refuelling trailer if that's any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Here's one: It should be possible to figure out where it was taken from the markings on the Clarktor. Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 My favourite is a stateside image: Not sure of the location of this, but an interesting one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAFMT Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
