  Many thanks to those who replied re the 'Carpentaria.
  Special acknowledgement to Ted Finch @ John Schlesinger.Your contributions
were most acceptable @ very much appreciated.Would you happen to know the
type of propulsion engines fitted ? Curiosity has got the better of me---I'm
an old marine engineer of some thirty years standing.
Once again,thanks aplenty.
Regards
Johno in OZ
