Clif is correct. There was an RAF Radar unit landed at Omaha {type 15 Radar}, some of the vehicles landed on D Day - many of which were damaged (cant find a referance right now but I know there is something on the BBC "peoples War" site) The picture I posted will probably be one of the units which landed later.
Here are pictures of a Type 13 (sory about the poor qualiy) and then a model of a Type 15

RAF Radar
Gents, the MoD website states a GCI unit landed late on D-Day, I don't think there is anything really unusual about an RAF vehicle emerging from a USN craft. Loads were prioritised for the first few days, as usual the US had greater capacity. The trailer is still a bit of a mystery, most of the office type bodies of the mobile radar units of 2 TAF were on rigid Crossley Qs. With the Austin K6s coming along later. The artic trailer shown is more akin to a MFPU convoy, but as with many of the unglamerous units, period photo are few and far between.
