Classic British Flight Sim

well what else would you find with water Garry?

Mosquitoes, perhaps. hmm hmm hmmm?

If they were looking for submarines they might be in with a chance

Not funny really....

That would mean the aircraft are damaged.



But, it is what it is.

It's us who are setting ourselves up for disappointment. hoping everything would be perfect where,
they could reassemble and fly them out of there.

The crates are just sat there, taking whatever the elements threw at them.

But it doesn't hurt to hope.

Well there must be enough reasonably good parts to 'mix 'n' match' to make at least one complete aircraft.

In some ways it might be better that they are fully underwater than just damp. I'm sure it will be worthwhile anyway.

Been catching up on this bit by bit, I have to echo the thoughts of others in that hope something can be salvaged however, Burma (correct me if I'm wrong) is known for the Monsoons and over a sixty year period underground in crates (not waterproof) then I would think that they would be a bit wet and messy even if they had been covered in hessian!!

Just hope that they are able to salvage something from this dig and it does not end up as just scrap metal.

It may up being a lesson in composites.

Some of the best discoveries are founded on data extrapolated from matrials that have been laying around for years.


... Janitor invents plastic by simply making a figgn' mess.

First picture from the dig!

I really hope that there is a happy ending to this venture,but the pessimist in me says that when these aircraft were crated up,it wasn't with the idea that they would need to be preserved and protected for this length of time and against the conditions underground.Fingers crossed eh? EricT
