They didn't want the redundant equipment, and contract inertia meant it was probably still piling up, to snuff out any resurgent industry before it could be nursed back into existence. Some was broken up for valuable metals, we were bankrupt at that point. Anything that could be exported, was, for quite a few years after. Wireless World adverts often stated "Export only". Nothing new about conspiracy theories. Facebook is the master, but not the midwife!
