While this music is geared to the people from "the Colonies" there is some great color footage of WWII equipment. Including a picture of the type of Crash Truck I have in action!!

Did you see that Jimmy with what looked like a tanker in the back
It's at 02:04 in the film.

I did see that Mick.
I enlarged it and it looks like a portable tank installed in a Cargo.
I would like input on what is the very large trailer being pulled by a CCKW at 1:32 on the very bottom of the screen in front of LST 312. It looks too long for a Ben Hur.
Check out the mobile crane at 1:22. TM9-2800 says it will lift 30,000 and is almost 30 feet high. Wouldn't that look great in the yard!

I would rather have a GMC crane, I can see that one slowing our convoy down.

I am not so sure that this is a DUKW trailer....
This is an extremely blown up slice of a low resolution shot. Sorry about the quality...a pdf is the only way I could get it off of Youtube, enlarge it, and save it.

Axle is too far back on the trailer. Looks boxy not angled as the DUKW trailer is. And it is much larger in box size that a M-10 or Ben Hur. It is almost as long as the cargo body.
Thoughts?
