Many aircraft appear to be abandoned when the major engine overhaul is due, for a C150 that could cost $20k (about £13k) then you’ve got the prop and other bits and bobs to think about. It soon gets cheaper to buy another aircraft!
If you watch the TV rescue type programmes the winch man will say “winch to pilot” as it gets to the last few feet so the winch man will have both hands free to help whoever is on the cable into the aircraft,

The scrap metal dealers must take some responsibility for this issue – they must be aware that a van load of copper sheets or a pick up full of telephone cables hasn’t come from a legitimate source.
I’m not really up on marques and models and all that but was the Sea Harrier a vastly different aircraft to the Harriers that have just been withdrawn?
I also think that unless you can use a fully stripped out cockpit then its going to be incredibly expensive. Almost every bit of it can be recovered and sold on – we’ve already been given the price that a single windscreen might fetch.
You can just about see the splash as the bridle drops into the sea (right at the edge of the frame), its a surprisingly long way from the ship as well.
