Former Dutch service men who where there in the early sixties told me that they used to get spare parts from various dumps in the area. An article I saw sometime ago showed some shots of complete aircraft (mainly American) dumped in the wilderness. The scrappings must have taken place in the late sixties early seventies I think.

One of our museumvolunteers remembered the wrecks of Japanese aircraft close to the airfield he visited then in the early sixties.
