As for the vehicle you can take your pick, they were all "utility" bodies at that sort of time, could be a Dodge, Bedford, Commer etc.

Military air traffic control caravan, normally parked near the end of the runway where they can check aircraft for problems prior to take off.
RAF ones normally on Bedford or Commer base.

The cable drum on the back and the aerials suggest a proper radio body, but as said previously it could be any vehicle. Morris and Chevrolet are other possibilities. The website says something about a radio vehicle, and is says the clear dome on the top is from a B17.
Interesting picture.

How about this as a 4x4 caravan?

It's a bit more modern :wink:
