[RASelkirk]

An almost new landing ship sold for scrap after less than 2 years of active service. Surprising that an alternative solution couldn't be found.

Wish someone would post up pix of the perfectly operational "gear" being scuttled or otherwise scraped overboard on the way home. I've seen pix of this over the years but never kept any...

Somewhere I had a photograph in an old magazine of the US Airforce "blowing up" up a perfectly good aeroplane, just after the end of WW2, as being the most cost effective way of disposing of it rather than flying it back to the US from Europe.

After the bomb, my father's ship (AKA 3) dumped the whole cargo load into the jungle and bulldozed the mess flat.
