Does anyone else have some photos?

I apologize for my belated offering to this excellent thread Noel. The combination of my advancing years, getting up everyday at 0-dark-stupid, very long days in the Texas heat, and a couple of ice cold beers upon my arrival back home has left an impression upon one thing....my recliner! My wife must wake me up every night to tell me to come to bed. Anyway, enough kvetching, here's a couple of pictures of a U.S. Airfield Engineer battalion moving various pieces of kit. The first is a picture of a 38t self-propelled paving mixer (concrete?) on a trailer, the second a Caterpiller on a similar trailer...M20 I believe?
CHIMO! Derek
