Some idiot with a camera in the roll-out area apparently.

3/8/2012 7:38:29 PM | Forgot to add this photo at the time:
RAF/WD type Brockhouse 3-ton trailer chassis, same as used for the runway caravan at Deenethorpe.
In fact I thought for a minute that there might have been a slim chance it was the remains of the actual runway caravan used by the 401st, but sadly the drawbar is a different pattern:
However, the same type of chassis was used for Pundit Light trailers, which flashed the airfield code letters:
It's unclear whether Deenethorpe actually had a Pundit light (there should have been one, but I've not yet seen it in a photo) but there was certainly another trailer at Deenethorpe with the same Brockhouse 3-ton chassis, the Chance Light (runway floodlight) trailer which is the lighthouse-shaped thing seen at the bottom of the "snow photo":
All the best,
Paul
