3 Churchills need saving in Germany

[motto (RIP)]

Swords into plough shears, it has always been so but that makes it no less maddening.
I understand it's often the case these that days the scrappy has no room to manoeuvre having been locked into a contract for the complete destruction of the equipment and no on sale to a third party except for melting down.
I have friends that have been in the ammunition business for years who used to buy empty, reject or overrun casings and reject or overrun projectiles from a scrap dealer by the ton.
The guvmint has now become so paranoid they would rather bury it in a secure location. Probably alongside our F111s.
