Default shame

What a shame that those B24's at Tocumwal were chopped up in situ on the old airfield . Early 1950's ? I think it was Hughes at Coburg who did the actual scrapping - ax chopping . If only somebody back then had the foresight to save one or two of them . But , at the time, hanger space wasn't available I guess .

Or maybe the US govt. made a demand that they be scrapped . A lend lease requirement or something .
