A man of vision was Dunny.
He was collecting that stuff when everyone was thinking it was junk
He was instrumental in recovering a P51 from the Maralinga test site .It was flown to Parafield where the DCA jumped on it and made sure it never flew in OZ again
He had a Mossie in the hangar in Mildewra that he saved from a cockys paddock.The cocky had sawn the wings off and was using it to blow air over his raisins to keep off frost FFS.
Buggered if I know if he ever made a quid out of it or not the arse was always out his pants and he rode a bloody old pommy banger of a motor bike
Eccentric old bugger hope he is enjoying his life wherever he is.
