Isn't it the Yanks who are requiring this? Some sort of Defence materiel cooperation treaty, either you scrap the M113 or you don't get any more US defence materiel cooperation or equipment.
You know a cash for clunkers scheme, if the US can get countries with servicable US made equipment to crush it instead of selling it, the US can sell more stuff from the US military industrial complex. What we need is to set up a shell company to take the M113 scrapping contract, take delivery of the buckets, and start surveying the machines to plan the destruction process, spend lots of money and go bankrupt. Then the receiver comes in and to try to recover the debts the reciever has to sell the assets, the buckets, to us as the highest bidders. The company that took the contract from Crown no longer exists and can not be held responsible. Last edited by Dianaa; 10-02-12 at 14:05.

Actually a lot of complaining south of Canada also about surplus system
Hi All
This whole topic of the how and what will be surplus here in the States has been drawing a lot of comment in our MV Club. In that given the current rules or practices much in the way spare parts is being scrapped instead of sold. The big concern in our club is that the smaller MVs ones which would be practical for someone starting in the hobby are drying up. With only the larger true military vehicles coming through. With only the occasional smaller sized like the odd Pinzgauer slipping through. The concern is that in a few years only the lightly militarized version of basically civilian trucks will be the only thing we will see. Cheers Phil

 Here was I thinking we had a foolproof plan, even if we only saved a few, the MRV gate guard in Wagga is starting to look more attractive.

What the cost
Hi All
If the purchase of surplus to needs military equipment and vehicles around the world dry up wouldn't that make our restored vehicles more rare and valuable.  Cheers Tony

Yes it would make them more valuable, however, there has to be entry level stuff for the 16 year old kid in order to make him a life long military vehicle collector (addict). Most young people can't afford to toss $10K to 50K onto something that will not attract the fairer sex.
As well, most guys want something that either has to do with their service career or maybe something their Dad drove in the war. Just as model Ts and 57 chevys have fallen out of favor to the muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s, many of the military vehicles will follow the same pattern. The one exception of course is the Jeep, which remains timeless.

E.g., surplus ex-Canadian M113 C&R are in private hands, the ex-Dutch ones are being shot up on the ranges and/or have been scrapped. H.
