ssssh in fifty years time………

It’s come up a number of times on here already. I’m pretty certain it pre-dates the Burma affair, and was referenced then. So a zzzz from me.

”The former Senior Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO), US Air Force, explains why the RAAF F-111s had to be buried on Quora. ‘Only the fuselage was buried. The wings and stabilizers as well the tail were removed for scrap. The fuselages were constructed out of bonded panels, and that bonding used asbestos, this is why it was deemed prudent to bury them. Trying to recover the materials was not cost effective, and it was full of hazards requiring a very comprehensive facility and PPE to even attempt. So, it was decided to bury them to take away the possibility of exposure to asbestos. They were barely recognizable by the time they were buried. There is even a diagram of their final resting place and date of interment.’
