Mr. Baker inspecting his Tanks

Australian built Cruiser tanks sold as scrap in 1946. Just a couple of years before 1946, all of the effort, research and manufacturing cost and it's thrown away as junk in such a short time. Madness. Were these tanks deemed to be obsolete in such a short time ? The buyer was selling crated Cadillac engines as disposals parts - these were probably spare Cruiser tank engines.
