In the same area as the PBYs were the disassembled parts to this B-25, which Google says is 44-28833/N9866C.

Just out of interest, the PBY hulk in the background is now at Ardmore airfield in Auckland, New Zealand. It was bought for spares for NZs only flying PBY (ZK-PBY).
This is what it looks like today...............................

What happened to the B-25? Was it scrappeed?

Here's what Google reports:

The December 1999 issue of Challenge Publication's Warbird's International contains an article about the auction held at Moses Lake, Washington in late August 1999. It sounds like the auction was extremely confused with much material being withdrawn for sale by owner Robert Schlaefli (SLAFCO). However, there were some B-25 airframe parts that apparently made it to new owners, including Carl Scholl. Also, the B-25 mentioned in the December update, 44-28833 (N9866C) reportedly went to a new owner in Northern California for $24,000. This was disassembled and incomplete airframe picked over through the years for usable parts.(Courtesy Coert Munk and Bob Haney)
