Default Dumped Jeeps & Bantams

This'll break your heart. Hundreds and hundreds of pieces of equipment dumped on Okinawa at the end of WWII

How about this tantalising discovery some years ago.

My father spoke about vehicles, weapons and equipment that he helped load into tunnels (or caves, I forget which) cut into a hill in New Guinea. I should have written down the directions, or more correctly, location from some reference points, but didn't have the same interest I do now. A moot point anyway, as it turns out. A volcanic eruption in the 1990s changed the entire landscape, burying everything around under feet of ash & rock.

Still, lots of other finds still exist and are easily accessed.
