6AD Oakey 1945 to about 1948.180 odd Spitfires out of 500 or so aircraft scrapped there.Rest were P40,s a few P51,s,Boomerangs and Beaufighters..1100 Allison engines or so and assorted spare parts..Every man and his dog since the 1970,s has been through the place..All on an active Army Aviation base so cant get to most of it.Rest is on private property..Sometimes you can strike it lucky with farm auctions or swap meets as farmers scored a lot of stuff from surplus sales post war.[ATTACH=CONFIG]258244[/ATTACH]

Tom Delonge,the drummer for the Band “Blink 182” is doing the same with UFO,s..

Im working off memory but didnt the Malta Aviation Museum have a sea recovered P40 on display that has been perfectly preserved and on display.Or am I thinking of a different Museum.

There would be a lot I think.Looks like the Heinkel hit hard and disintegrated..No real archeological aspect,just upend everything to find things of value..No mapping of site or documentation taken.They werent even looking for data plates..
