Possibly a simple explanation to this. It is known that NZ supplied some of their LP2 Carriers to US Forces for use up in the Islands, but it is recorded according to a NZ military historian, that 10 Carriers went to the Free French ........... now in 1940, the Free French were recognised by Tahiti, so maybe these Carriers went there as equipment for those defending the island. As it was the Japs did not venture on Tahiti. This is where it was supposed to have been found ........... now the search will be on for the other nine!
