Is was not the picture that I was referring to, it was this quote from Jeff:

"No its definitely an NZ LP2 or LP2A as supplied to the US Marine Corps. We sold about 33 to them of which 10 went to the Free French."

So it looks as though it is a strong possibility that the Carrier got to the island of Tahiti as defence. Further research needed.

The Free French had a submarine on its way to Tahiti as well. Submarine disappeared after leaving Panama canal, but that is another story.

cheers Richard
