Soo ... according to that article. They are digging in the wrong spot because its safer and makes a better TV documentary even though everyone knows there are no Spitfires there? Furthermore the one borehole in the "right" area found what may be a crate at depth but even if it is a spitfire crate its full of water ?

Sounds a right royal stuff up already.

More obfuscation and intended confusion from Mr. Cundall. Crate full of water will take "weeks" to pump out. Wtf?

Serious archeologists with a reputation to maintain have now examined Mr. Cundall's "witness statements" and the other "evidence" he has accumulated in detail and pronounced it Bollox.

How does Duralumin hold up under water?????? I'm not sure it's noted for it's corrosion resistance.
