Now , they by in at about 35-50 c a kilo, so I guess they sell at 70c to $1.50 a kilo.
obviously, the PNG government, can't afford to buy back the metal, and won't let u export it, unless you can put a case for preservation. it also appears, that the owners of these yards, were encouraged, to collect this lot, by Melbourne based aircraft preservationists -(hahahahahahhaha) and others. Now they've had all the best bits, then as far as they are concerned, the rest can now get turned into ashtrays. So, if you want to preserve a piece of history, i suggest you get in touch with these bast... errrr indigenous entrepreneurs. numerous reports from these yards, include Turrets, large components, ammunition tracks, fuel tanks etc.... sooooooo what are u waiting for?
