Esperance Carrier
Hi Max
I have nothing listed for Esperance. Did Emma get the Hull Number or some owner details. If she has owner details PM those to protect privacy and I'll contact the owner to seek details. Bob |

Emma is very sorry that she didn't get the numbers for you but all is not lost as Michael is working there at the moment and he should be able to get them for you

Sump
Hi Max.
I have a question for you regarding the sump on the Ford engine used in the carriers, I have changed a few motors in the past but never taken much notice of the sump, the one that I put in yesterday is sitting on the sump base and not sitting down on the engine mounts, I have not had this problem befor, but I must add that I have always used engines taken from other carriers, unlike this one taken from a truck, Thanks Max, Regards, Ron,

She is an LP2A Serial # 4180. I couldn't find anything that told me who built her though. Cheers Rod

This carrier is owned by the town of Esperance and is on permanent loan to the Museum there. There are quite a few story boards around it telling of the history of it's restoration. It is painted in a very unmilitary shade of green though. I have more pics if anyone wants them. The carrier is driveable and is taken out for parades, etc.

SAR?
4175 and 4280 were built by the South Australian Railways so it's a good chance this one was too.

#4180
Rod
Thanks for that. #4180 is a 1943 built SAR LP2A under Contract No. MOS.170. You could pass that on to a relevant person or alternately provide me with a contact name & telephone number. Bob
