Same thing happened here as well. In 1989, mustard gas was uncovered near Maxwellton in Queensland. On a recent trip up north, we came across chem weapons drums which had rusted open, but were not holed then burnt out with incendiaries as per policy. Wouldn't drink water from the creeks up there...
I've heard that too. I've got the coordinates of about 5 aircraft dumpsites off the eastern Australian coast - apparently the entile RN carrier complement of aircraft was deep-sixed off Australia as well in 1946.
I daresay that most people on this board have heard the stories of the aircraft...
Hi Guys,
I'm just wondering how many people here have heard the urban legends about aircraft and other war materiel dumped or buried at the end of WWII. I've heard some great stories about this old favourite, but I have also seen some evidence which suggests there may be some truth in it...
