Default R4

Here's a couple of pics of a gasoline powered R4 "pylon" queen at Carswell AFB near Ft. Worth taken by Bob Pettit in 2006 and posted on Olive drab.com. Carswell AFB was the scene of Jimmy Stewart's movie "Strategic Air Command". Both B36's and B47's were flown out of Carswell back in the day. I saw this dozer every Drill weekend when I was a member of the Texas State Guard. Hope these help.

Default Will See What We Have In 3/4 View

Hi Clive

Have a number of photos of Cat D7 in 2048x1536 pixels will see if I have 3/4 views with nothing in the back ground. The owner of the Little Clark is a friend and avid photographer so I will e-mail him and ask him for photos. Pretty sure he will have 3/4 view with nothing in the back ground.

There are a surprising number of WWII Dozers out there, here is another D7 Cable operated blade in the area but it is hard to get photos of them with to pose with no people and no vehicles in the back ground.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil,

Depending on the complexity, I can Photoshop the background. The hardest to do is a concrete apron and I look back at the work I had to do for the Kangaroo cover.

Image 022 (in your last post) would be nice if you find one at a different angle.

Thnx,
C

Clive,

I will go to the lower decks and see if I can find the boxes with the monument dozer on the bridge from Petawawa, how much a darn tooting rush are you in chum?

While I have your attention, David Fletcher (yes Bovington) says howdy

Robin,
There is no rush as this title isn't scheduled until Fall 2014 at the earliest. However, I think that Phil H has what I need so you can probably stand down on this. If I need to come back to you I know where to find you.
Cheers,
C

There are quite a few WW II construction machines (left over from the construction of the Alaska Highway) on display in the Signpost Forest at Watson Lake, Yukon. I can't remember if there were any 'dozers among them. If there are no members in the area who could check, the Chamber of Commerce could probably tell you and provide photos if there are any.

Default Did you find what you need?

Did you mean me, and did you find the picture you needed in the link I sent you? I have not turned up anymore photos yet.

Cheers Phil
