Buried Spitfires

Post by PeterN2 » Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:32 pm

A story of 20 Spitfires found in Burma. I wonder what condition they will be in after all those years underground in crates. Hopefully, they will not be too bad.

Regards
Peter.

Excellent idea, film about digging them up and opening the first crate, if there is anything left of the wood.
And seeing how well or badly they have survived. Would be interesting.
