M5Clive Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nice pics of the semi-unit Rick. I would presume that the gasoline tanker is either being hauled by a Federal or Autocar tractor unit. Am in the throws of currently trying to obtain for a friend a semi trailer, single axle wooden bodied stake trailer. They make a really rare combination on the show circuits over here. Looks like a twin engined bobcat type, Lockeed Electra type aircraft poking its nose into the picture, but Jessie will know for sure. Are these pics taken stateside or the `ETO?

Jessie The Jeep Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Looks like a twin engined bobcat type, Lockeed Electra type aircraft poking its nose into the picture, but Jessie will know for sure. Pretty sure it's a Cessna UC-78 Bobcat. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If this thread is open to other fly posters, here's an airfield scene I picked up at a W+P stall last year - was it specially posed or just an everyday scene I wonder................

N.O.S. Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 1st small pic on right ?? Looks to be a British vehicle, but am unsure what, at the mo,....anyone. :dunno: Not so sure - when enlarged, looks to be left hand drive, has Bud wheels on front, and cab/rad/chassis boxes suggest Mack or White, or White/Ruxtall, check out p.93 in Observer's F.V. Directory (Vanderveen) :dunno: I don't mean Bud wheels, I mean those Spigot type foreign thingies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 What are the left guys sitting on, is that .50cal ammo? Must be, that or packed lunch boxes :-D There's another trailer full in right background too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoranWC51 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 This little vehicle is a Clarkat, equipped with a 230 c.i. Dodge engine and gearbox. There's a Yahoo group if you're interested: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Clarktugs/messages/980 As always, Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Marriott Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Just to let you guys know the little airfield tractor isn't a Clarkat it is a Clarktor 6 Mil 44 model. The Clarkat was the smaller three wheeled tug mainly used on aircraft carriers. P.S I have three Clarktors in varying states of completeness. Projects for the furture!!! O.K Clive before you say it I'll be sixty before I have one running!! 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Paul, I stand corrected. I really like those small "tractors". They are hard to find here in Sweden. I know of only one, owned and restored by Thomas Terräng, a MV surplus dealer in Gothenburg. I think this vehicle was one of several hundred (!) sold in Italy in the 1960's or 70's.
