The two pics with all the motorcycles. Wonder how many of them ended up with the hells angles who were founded in 47, 48.

I've been looking to acquire one of these for some time now.....if anyone on site can steer me towards one I'd sure appreciate a heads up!

One of the new additions to Bomber Camp this year is the Airfield Control trailer. These appear to have been field made with whatever was available so we did just that. Taking original ideas from several old photos we created trailer with its own charm. Here are a few of the inspirational photos:







We started with a purchase from Government Surplus. It came out a Air Force surplus properties auction a few years ago. Its always amazing that something like this was still in the Air Force inventory 70+ years after it was made. The trailer is a late war M5 Bomb Service Trailer that was only made during WWII but continued in use long after. The box is a WWII radio shelter that was meant to go in the back of a GMC deuce and a half. Someone put the shelter on the Bomb Trailer and gave it some utilitarian use as a paint trailer.

Here is the shot of what it looked like as found.



And now











It will serve as the radio shack to listen in on the communications of the B-17 while it is off flying the "missions". We will also use it for the radio portion of Bomber Camp.

Very cool Taigh. I find this sort of improvised airfield equipment fascinating. It's nice to see that spirit kept alive.
