Definately not British, as the carriers are LP2's and the motely lot crewing them have got to be ANZAC's by there atire and presentation.

So we know they are LP2 or 2As (can't tell which .... can't see the diff!) but where are we guessing they are?

Ambon?
Timor?
Rabaul?
Malaya?

It's somewhere tropical, but who and where??

Any thoughts and why?
