Tony, you mention about an LP1 still on display and in better nick than the one from NZ. That being one of the six left.

Yeah, Ian, Lynn has cleared up the misunderstanding for you. I was describing an English No2 Mk1 carrier in private ownership in NZ being in better nick than an NZ Army Museum No2 Mk1, and these two carriers are the sole survivors of the original six sent out to NZ as samples for setting up the Kiwi carrier program. Those 6 carriers were the sisters of the ones sent to Aust, from which the Aust LP1 was largely copied. That explains why the pic appears similar to an LP1.
