Where are the Image Libraries?

Will this include patching links to images in the library that are in old posts?
To be clear, the art isn't lost. It's just needs to be moved to a new home.
I can see the attachment - looks beautiful!

FABULOUS looking vehicle render! 
Recommend the Traveller Wiki grab this immediately for use (if they don't already have it).
Just checked ... they don't.
I have one question though.
Where is the 4 tons of cargo capacity for this thing supposed to fit?
Mind you, it could be a case of 4 people up top, 4 tons of cargo capacity slung underneath (basically a slung load) with some clamps under the air/raft to latch onto whatever containers are to be transported. Yet another case of external cargo transport capacity (which is fine, so long as it is understood properly), but that's the almost inevitable conclusion one has to draw from the basic form factor of this vehicle.

My English is not so good. I cannot understand why you ask me above question.
tons?
I describe the title of "4-man open-top" based on Rob Caswell's image "Common Grav Vehicles of the Third Imperium".

You are doing fine with your English as Second Language (ESL) skills.
All hail Google Translate!
Going all the way back to LBB3 in Classic Traveller, the basic air/raft has been described a occupying 4 tons of starship displacement, carrying 4 people (1 driver, 3 passengers) with an open top, and a cargo capacity of 4 tons (4000 kilograms).
Your wonderful art piece shows the open top "gravity car" that seats 4 people quite beautifully ... better than any others I've ever seen in fact.
What I'm asking about is where any luggage or cargo ought to be getting stowed or carried by the vehicle, simply because it ought to be able to a 4000 kilogram load of cargo in addition to the 4 people in the 4 seats.
That is why I'm thinking that any kind of cargo towing capability is going to be something slung under the vehicle that the air/raft picks up when the vehicle lifts off the ground, taking the cargo strapped underneath with it. So the air/raft would work sort of like a crane, picking up cargo under it to move around under the vehicle while the vehicle flies.

Your English is far better than our 日本語.

はい、 私 の 日本語 が まだ まだ あんまり。
Thanks comment.
And I understand your question.
I make all ship and vehicle models by MT rules.
The MT Referee’s Manual shows “to compute the average weight of a full cargo hold,
multiply the volume of the cargo hold in kiloliters by 1000 kg (one metric ton).”
The MT Imperial Encyclopedia shows that the cargo space of open-top air/raft is 5.4kl(m3).
In my model,
the rear trunk space is about 3kl and rear cabin space is 1kl when back seat move forward.
So the air/raft needs 1.4kl trunk space at the front block. The rest of front block uses for 3.3kl fuel space.
All Grav units set under the vehicle.
