Hi Allan, i wouldnt doubt it some of the stuff our govt came up with in the earlier days or even now,i think on the REMLR forums some body tried to get new old stock tank engines v10 or v12s MAN or similar only a few yrs ago as he saw them being carted on a truck when he enquired about them the eventual answer was they had to be destroyed due to the asbestos content(probably only lagging wrapped around exhaust pipe) i think just a case of sheer bloody mindedness,much like the aircraft placed on fire dumps for destruction c47 or dc3 etc thru to at least the 1970s or may be even later.
A lot of campaigning by aviation groups saw some donated to museum groups but it took a hell of a lot of work.
