There was loads of eqipment on the Island of Santo in Vanuatu.(formerly called the New Hebridies) There was a U.S. base in Luganville. At the end of the war it was dumped by driving it all off a jetty, the place is called Million Dollar Point. The reason for this was that if millions of dollars worth of nearly new bulldozers and trucks etc were to be sent back it would have flooded the market to the extent that it could have put manufacturers out of bussiness. Anyway, I fly out there on Saturday 28th July for 2 weeks on a working holiday and Million Dollar Point is #1 on my things to see while I am there list!
