We present UBV photometric observations of two R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars, W Mensae and HV12842, which are members of the Large Magallenic Cloud (LMC). These data have been obtained over the last two years using single-channel photometers on both the 0.6m and lm telescopes at Mount John. They form part of an ongoing long-term program to investigate photometric and spectroscopic variations in the hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars both in the LMC and in our Galaxy.
