Default Scary part is...

... the gov has a bad record for deciding to crush and bury materiel bldgs etc rather than going to the hassle of selling the stuff off at crown assets. The Militaria/vehicles there would 'likely' not be on the books anymore because it was decomissioned. Therefore no item line in bookkeeping to enable crown assets to sell it , soooo.....crush. That and the political backlash would be short and sweet instead of selling off the stuff and having a lingering wound. They will use the good old fallback " liability " " if we sold a tank and someone dropped it on their toe, we might be liable" . Which we know would not be the case but the liability word is used all the time to justify questionable practice.
Hopefully , the boys at Shilo get creative and it works out okay.
Will fire off an email in support of them regardless.
