My step father Norm Grosvenor can tell you exactly what they threw in there.Nothing in boxes they used big american bulldozers to push the stuff off the barges and ships and in the end they ran the dozers into the sea and sank the barges.And he stole a couple of yank staff cars.He told me of a bloke taking stuff out that big under ground bunker in queensland that was full of B17s and heaps of other aircraft.They would check reciepts for the things in the back of the trucks but didn't realise it was trucks he was steeling.Anything that could be flown back to America was flown back as everyone just wanted to get home.All the rest was dumped in the sea.
