Sadly, I had heard reports of active scrapping going on in Madang and Lae areas in recent years. A heartbreaking scene could be observed through the fence. On the scrap pile were defiantly WWII era aluminum bit - what looked like some wing sections and tail or stabilizer bits. These relics would be bought for only about 50t per kilogram (about 35 cents) and would be melted down for scrap.
