The thing is Andrew that the climate where these carriers are is mostly dry. Not a lot of rain there over the year. Thatīs why, after being 31 years out in the "elements" they are corrosion free, just slight superficial rust. The hulls are really in great shape and original, not a single bit of them has been cut.

I wonder what else is there on the scrapyard...one of your first pics seems to show a 3Ton CMP GS body...
Yes Alex, there are several CMP trucks there too. However, they are not very complete.

I send you some other pictures of the T16-E2 UCs out there:
