More buried Spitfires….

There is a precedent in the case of the Vulcan return to flight.

Many of us confidently predicted it would never happen but were as delighted as anyone else when we were proved wrong.

As skeptical as I am about the Burma digs, part of me can’t but grin at the amount of crow that will have to be eaten if they find one. 😀

Actually it’s a secret plan to sneak up on the Myanmar Spitfires from below. 😉

The truth is that quite a number of forum members have already found buried WW2 aircraft, what remained was badly corroded, not capable of being made airworthy, not particularly interesting as museum exhibits and, only rarely, useful as patterns. Unfortunately this is not news worthy and does not rate media coverage. What the general public prefers is the non sensical believe that buried airframes exist in remarkable condition, awaiting assembly so that they can once more grace the skies. And there are certainly individuals out there who will feed and play on that notion. Good luck to them, Prey deserves to be eaten. It only concerns me when people of influence start to believe these fantasies, because that usually ends in hard earned resources(ie time and money) being squandered.

As to why the producers feel the Army Museum of Flying would want another Spitfire is beyond me. They already have the excellent restoration pictured above. Nice one Ross.

Treasure hunter hype much?
Anyway we found it years ago,it was under our noses all along..Some assembly required though 😉

Burma?

Is there any country in the world that doesn’t hold a cache of buried Spitfires
