Default Scrapped LEMs

RDG wrote in message ...
According to "Chariots for Apollo", at least one unused/partially
fabricated LEM was to be sent to New Zealand, but instead, was buried in
a trash landfill in Oceanside, Queens, New York. I have yet to uncover
any confirmation of this, or any documentation that affirms that this
order was given by anyone in authority. Is this confirmable, and why
has nobody attempted to salvage this spacecraft or parts? At least one
LEM was nearly completed for a mission that never flew. Were there
others? Are the remains of the incomplete LEMs in existence? Does
anyone have reliable or first-hand information regarding the fates of
uncompleted Lunar Modules?
