The thing is Andrew that the climate where these carriers are is mostly dry. Not a lot of rain there over the year. That´s 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:
