The national archive of Australia has all the drawings for the LP 2 carrier if that is of any use 

Are they available online Gina, or do you have to go to the archives?

Cheers. 

Welcome mate, look forward to seeing more of your project.

If only I lived in the UK.

Sounds like an awesome position.

Welcome mate.

Awesome Matt!

A rare bird with that blade.

Jealousy is a terrible thing.........

Yes Shermans, Cromwells and Churchills.

I'm jealous of all you blokes toys!

No worries Rick.

I just thought it was funny that the film seemed to be trashing the Churchill over the Sherman when in the end the Churchill won the contract.

ok you got me on that one ! there is no need for the Churchill's heavy armour when fighting the japs and the shermans maintenance requirements are a little less than the churchills ! which in the jungle is an important logistical consideration.

 

another factor to consider is the churchill is probably too manly a tank for the aussies, so best for them to stick to the little tanks like Shermans and such and leave the big stuff to the real men :coffee:

Rick, at the end of the trials the Churchill tank was preferred over the Sherman with some 510 tanks ordered.

The order was cancelled due to the end of the war not before 51Churchill tanks were delivered to Australia(the six trial tanks and 45 production tanks).
