:Could you please be a bit more specifc about these details. Where exactly is this yard and please provide contact details for Brendan Maillan.

As Secretary of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society Inc.(HARS) I can assure you there is no scrapyard owned or maintained by HARS in PNG or Brisbane.

Of course any yard conatining WW2 parts is of interest to the community in general so please provide the deatils so we can go out and save the stuff.





A while back on a business trip to Brisbane, Australia, i
: heard of a scrapmetal yard that had aircraft parts and eve
: ntually spoke to Brendan Maillan. There was a large amount
: of torn up World War Two aircraft peices. I asked if i c
: ould buy a couple of interesting peices as a souveneir and
: I was told that it was all owned by someone called H.A.R.
: S. I thought that World War Two parts from Papua New Guin
: ea and othe Pacific Islands were prtected from scrapping a
: nd that if they were to come to Australia they would be le
: ft in big enough peices to be restored and displayed here.
