Re: More on the Burmese Spitfires
They've actually had a team of archaeologists,diggers, geophysicists, and two mechanical excavators on the job.....The only find they got besides a load of water pipes and electrical cables that supplied the airport was.....A single piece of RAF issue Pierced Steel Planking (PSP) used to construct temporary runways.
Not a very good return on a £1million investment...Thus far.

Is this guy serious....???What was he doing then, planting 'taters like he does back in Lincolnshire???
If it's truly possible, it get's worse.....The crated Spitfire alledgedly discovered by drilling a hole, and filmed by Mr.Cundall at Myitkania has actually turned out to be, quote, "A rubbish dump."
