According the below reference, "surplus" items were either shipped back to the US or buried. Hmmm.
Is this island the possession of the UK? If so would MOD be involved?
Quote:
n May 1947 the last troops left the island and the US Base was deactivated. In moving out the US forces removed all the temporary buildings and tents. At sites such as the US Hospital, only clinker areas remained to show that anything at all had existed. Surplus material had been either shipped back to the US or buried in large pits near the site of the old base.
