ArtistsRifles Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just trying to tot up what they are worth now.... I gave up counting at 256 - average price seems to be £14,000 these days so there's at least £3,584,000 worth of Jeeps sitting in that picture..... :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Although this a post WW2 photo , Just imagine how many times this scene was repeated around the world as surplus vehicles were stockpiled awaited to be destroyed now that the war was over !< from the Life magazine files> Old Jeeps parked in a field rusting away unwanted. Location:Okinawa, Japan Date taken December 1949 Photographer:Carl Mydans Edited November 25, 2008 by abn deuce added original details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I thought that the previous photo's of the surplus jeeps and trailers gave an idea of the volume involved of the surplus equipment . How very wrong I was , while the story in this youtube clip Really is shocking and its a shame the still photo's are not very detailed the scope of what was stockpiled and destroyed just after WWII is ........... I cant find a word . If you then think of how many vehicles where then rebuilt and sent to Korea just a few years later its stunning . I now its been said before if all this surplus survived then the value of those in preservation would be much less . Just for a moment think of the spare parts junked !He also speaks of entire loaded ships sunk !:nut: The veteran talked of this being only one of a number of simular sites :shocked::shocked: Something went wrong...

antarmike Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Could try to reenact this with the Jeep section at W&P in years to come If you tried at W&P it wouldnn't look like that, instead of standard jeeps you would have a field of "SAS" jeeps, etc, bristleing with every conceivable weapon it was posible to bolt on......

N.O.S. Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 And that is just the equipment sent to Japan (not that I knew they had many occupation troops there) :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 and probably more in airbourne markings than there were during ww2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
