Amazing USA/Australia Treaty 1946

[Lang]

While we regret losing various things years later, they do not have such great value at the time eg who cares about the Army saving say 100 Landrovers to bring out in 50 years time?

Where do you start and finish? If every enthusiast had his way we would be saving everything and the country would be full of warehouses and the harbours full of mothballed ships. When do you bring it out - 10, 20, 50 years later.

I think the best we can do is have a few gate guardians and donations to a few museums of items considered of significance and sell the rest to recover some money for the taxpayer.

What is significant? The lowly Hudson is much more significant to Australian history than a Spitfire as are several other types from Kittyhawks to Beauforts.

We can't save everything.
