I'm willing to bet on that result.

I'm sure the red faces would be among the investors. The excavation team themselves have got their rewards already. From the aforementioned.

The investors already got what they wanted. They were mentioned in all the big newspapers - around the globe(!).
If you wanted to achieve this the regular way, it'd be way more expensive.
Think red bull - baumgartner.

Then everybody is happy. No need to find any Spitfires :-).

In fact finding them would spoil everything.

Interesting:

The project's lead archaeologist Andy Brockman, a specialist in modern conflict, remains open-minded about what they may discover.

RedToo.

They've fond a crate (that's a storage crate, not an aircraft/crate) but they can't see what's in it:

Even more important - they have found water.

Makes me wonder if it already was there during their test-drills. ;)
