This is not a recommendation, just a data point: We had lots of
problems with fungus in our KWM-2A's in SE Asia. It would grow on the
chassis, and was apparently mildly conductive. Our solution was to
hose them out with a plain soap solution, rinse, and let them dry in
the sun. We got the portable "hoser" from the A/C maintenance guys on
the flight line and the soap from the dishwasher guys in the mess
halls. Kept them pretty nice. YMMV
Well, yeah, but I recall that you also said that you used to blow them
up when you were tired of them.
Thermite, actually. Leaves everything molten in a puddle. In today's
world, those probably would be mini-Superfund sites with the heavy
metals and all. I toyed more than once with sneaking one back when we
were recovered. After all, it had already been written off and didn't
exist. Never did though. They still visit me in my dreams :-)
