It seems amusing that a mythical cache of buried Spitfires can make grown men lose all sense of balance and decorum. It appears most of you cannot be trusted to discuss a mythical cache of buried Spitfires without it getting very personal! If only this anger could be directed at something useful…

I think it was a small minority who were having the spats that lead to suspension of the thread. A major problem with any thread that becomes long is repetition by new people coming to the thread not having read previous posts. That is perhaps understandable in this case. The previous time it was suspended I suggested deleting all posts after arounder #2000 which would have left all the valuable well researched posts and the first round of debate. This would have been quick and easy for the mods.
