Would not suprise me if Nat Geo or Discovey/History had already signed them up before 'going public' Andy, well I hope so any hoo

There was a similar story about Spitfires in Australia a while back. Unopenened and still crated up they were consigned to the smelters after the war, an employee of the smelter was suposed to have spirited some away and hid them down a disused mineshaft.

Unfortuanately no evidence has come forth to verify it actually happening.

I hope the Burmese Spits turn out to be true.

I saw the Burma story in the paper on the weekend.

good story, thx for posting it

hope they can recover them intact :]

Crikey...

How many more?

You can never have too many threads about Spitfires!! :grin:

This much is true!

My fear is they will be corroded beyond salvage.

The Burmese jungle is not an equipment friendly environment.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Great news - if they are as well protected as seems to be the case this will really be something. Thanks for that.
