Australian and British carriers in The Netherlands East Indies
1. There were Australian units in the NEI 1942, i e Blackforce, Gullforce and Sparrow force. I have seen that they brought carriers. But which type and in wich numbers?
2. Did the British evacuate carriers from Singapore to NEI?

Aust carriers
They were LP2a carriers. LP1 carriers were only used in limited numbers in the Middle East, and we had very few British or Canadian manufactured carriers.
The picture below is taken from Mike Cecil's book on Aussie Carriers:

Australian Carriers
Thanks a lot!
So this one was used by the Japanese on Ambon. I have noted that Gull Force (2/21st Btn) had four carriers. 2 in A-Coy at Latoehalat and 2 at Laha AFB. Very nice to see a picture of one of theese. Stellan

Indian carriers in the NEI
Dear Stellan,
For what I understood these carriers never really entered the NEI as they had to stay on the "British" side of the border: there was no ongoing road. Greetings, Nuyt
