I'm not sure.  With British English saying "scrapyard" (which works to my US English ear), I'm repeating that (values of, in a key yet-to-be-determined) "aircraft_scrapyard" could work for aircraft and perhaps "auto_scrapyard" could work for cars.  The latter are quite common, the former are not, but aircraft scrapyards DO exist.

There is a distinction in my mind between "wrecking yard" or "car breaker" and a "simple" (storage only) "scrapyard."  The latter will always contain a "crusher" (a large machine that turns a car into a desk-sized compressed mass) and the former might or might not.
