Default RAF Chance LIght

This RAF trailer carries a Chance Light - but what is the towing vehicle? It has slat sides which is quite unusual

Default RAF Crash Tender

Les,

Can you identify this RAF type? It looks to be a pre-war crash tender and if the colours can be trusted looks to have brown over RAF blue as its camo.

On second thoughts this Crash Tender may be brown with a dark grey disruptive camo

Larry,

It looks like a prewar Crossley IGL. According to Bart Vanderveen they were built in 1935/1936 as fire tenders.
Here is one preserved in Madrid, Spain, albeit with postwar cab.
