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.

My fear is they will be corroded beyond salvage. The Burmese jungle is not an equipment friendly environment.
