Spitfires buried in Burma; any news ?

[Paul K]

Its all gone very quiet since the announcement. Please don't tell me it was just crates of NAAFI tea.

IIRC it briefly re-appeared in the press a week or two ago. It wasn't really news, just another few sound bytes to drum up interest again, how there may be more, etc etc...

Any idea which airfield they're at?

It's starting to look like the resurrection of an urban myth. It seems that there's a similar, older, story about a load of Spitfires buried in Queensland

Hopefully that's a co-incidence but I wouldn't invest your pension in a Spitfire recovery Company just yet!

Move along please. Nothing to see 'ere.

Wrong again! My cynicism was thankfully without foundation!

It looks like they really are there and could be coming home soon. Up to 60 of them! Fantastic!
