Default Re: No Photo, but strange use indeed

So, some HUPs indeed had tow hitches attached...I wonder if they were the bog-standard pin hitches or the real deal spike type military hitches???

here's the quote from the article....

At Aldershot, Mills supervised the four enlisted men who prepared the company's traveling show, consisting of a bus for the performers, a heavy utility personnel vehicle towing a portable generating plant, and a 60 cwt truck carrying a mobile stage, lights, costumes, and sound equipment, with a former mobile dental trailer that had been converted into a dressing room in tow.

Do you think we will have that kind of Travelling show at Gracie's tonight...
3 hours to touch down...
