People still talked about this when I arrived at SA in 1963. The story told most often was when the peroxide leaked out at a time when no one was there. Peroxide is a potent oxidizer and the aircraft was constructed with a lot of magnesium. The aircraft was pretty much consumed. There was a lot of rusty steel left.
