Buried Lancasters?

In August 1990 the “Sunday Express” carried a story about several intact Avro Lancasters buried in a field near Brigg. They showed up on ground mapping radar. However when they finally did the excavation they found there was virtually nothing left. What they had seen on ground radar were like “fossils” as everything had corroded away.

There are also rumours that some Mosquito wrecks were buried at Bovingdon following the filming of “633 Squadron” there in 1963.
