Or...there were no Lancs there in the first place! To save face the good Doctor at the heart of the Lanc story convinced himself (but few others) that "unusual" soil conditions had oxidised the aluminium and er....all those steel fittings, engine cradles, turret motors, etc., leaving just a residue that ground radar-that boon of archaeological wishful thinking-had picked up.

This Burma story is just another example but mixed in with a rather too gullible PR advisor to our PM. That don't really matter 'cause our mainstream media have now moved on to another sound-bite.
