Some of the stuff in the article needs editing.

"Most people who were living near major military areas in Australia immediately following the Second World War will relate stories of seeing masses of partially stripped aircraft and vehicles waiting for the smelters or the scrap merchants. "

Most people ? Some of the statements are a bit over the top , the author has exaggerated with his own opinions spread all over the article. The article needs to be checked over by others with a more even outlook.

"Perhaps forewarned of the 1949 “Fullbright” agreement, the Australian government held off on the disposal of the bulk of the RAAF and USAAC C47/DC3 and PBY Catalina aircraft"

The PBY's were sold off in situ up at lake boga , they were not "held off" http://www.goodall.com.au/australian.../lakeboga.html
