Crazy. These old guys were just kids when the war ended. I can’t really comment of the validity of Mr.Cundall’s claims for Burma, but this story of Spit’s buried in Brum is very fanciful and already well chewed-over and is even less likely to be factual. I knew people who worked there and friends had parents who worked there – all at management level, and there was never a squeak about this myth. Ever. After the war, as soon as aircraft production ended, the whole place was cleared of jigs, machinery, materials. The remaining sub-assemblies went-off to other plants to be finished. With so many people around, in such a large plant in such a large city, this would have been as difficult to keep secret as it would have been pointless. One Spit was saved and loaned to Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry and it is now in the Think Tank I understand. That’s about as close as this myth gets to reality.
