Hi,
I thought you might be interested in seeing a photo of the remains of an LCA on the River Hamble, Hampshire. The photos were taken a few years ago so I imagine the LCA has deteriorated a bit since the photos were taken.
I can add a couple more if you want.
There was one other LCA on display in Normandy at the Utah Beach museum. Recent photos that I seen show an LCVP on the plinth it was displayed on. Not sure if the LCA was broken up or moved to another area.
There are a few LCA’s in use as houseboats over here, UK, but most seem to have had the armour removed at some time. At the end of WWII you could purchase surplus craft from the Admiralty for around £46 and they could also provide you with a plan on how to convert it into a home.
There is some more information about some surviving Landing Craft in the UK on the British Military Powerboat Trust website.
