"I now have received a copy of the Wargaming press release.

The have to exit with some diginity.

For me while David Cundall and the Burmese team are still mapping in preparation for further digging, with a year plus license, I personally will give it until the start of next monsoon.

Still a way to run yet."

Apology

Wargaming Ltd said they now believe no Spitfires were delivered in crates and buried at RAF Mingaladon during 1945 and 1946.

The company said that archival records showed that the RAF unit that handled shipments through Rangoon docks only received 37 aircraft in total from three transport ships between 1945 and 1946.

Most of the Spitfires that were in Burma at the time appear to have been re-exported in the autumn of 1946, they said.

Tom Cundall seems to be in a bit of a rut.

Said so from day one. Shame, coz we all hoped it was true, but isn't it weird how by the time they admitted it was a myth, the number of potentially buried Spits rose to 124?

I seem to remember that the original number 'potentially buried' was about 6.

Just a big 'pfffft!' all round really.
