| Some 5000 plus Australian built carriers were made in a number of variants. Here's a selection of pictures, starting with some I took in the 1970s. | |||

||
| (Above and below) This LP2A I photographed in the early 1970s in Fieglins Timberyard, Nunawading. This almost uncut hull would make a nice restoration project if it were still around. | Most of the engine cover is still on this Carrier seen in Trentham, 1973. The position of the seat marks this as a Strickland carrier conversion. |
