There was a scrapyard for ex USAAF/USN/RNZAF aircraft in New Zealand after the war.

After WWII the USAAF and RNZAF flew aircraft into Rukuhia Airfield, Hamilton New Zealand. They just turned off the engines and walked away. A local got the contract to break the aircraft up. There was still fuel in the tanks, and in some cases ammunition in the weapons.
