Dumped, buried, burnt, scrapped or saved in Australia after WW2

There are many "stories" circulating about military equipment and aircraft being dumped, buried, burnt, scrapped or saved after World War 2. Many of these "stories" are not true. I repeat them all here with the hope that someone will eventually be able to provide that missing bit of information that will either confirm or debunk the stories told.

My advice is "Don't believe everything you hear" when it comes to these sort of stories.

Generally, where I am not sure whether to story is true I will word the home page in an appropriate way to suggest that I either do not believe the story or am seeking confirmation.
