[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-12-02 AT 11:13 AM (GMT)]I didn’t know, but the Americans have burried aircraft, that were written off during the Gulf War, in the desert of Saudia Arabia. Lots of further photographs on this link: http://www.pats-world.com/gulfwar/abdr-home.htm
So, future aviation archeologists now know where to start digging. If they did it this way in 1991, I now start to believe that WW2 aircraft were disposed of in the same way, only where??????? BW Roger

RE: Burried wrecks : some for the future diggers
Which is why old Noddy on the right is walking around the place in full NBC gear.
I reckon it was friendly fire from ‘The Corps’

I wouldn’t dig this up in the future; Its probably been buried for the same reason destroyed Iraqi tanks were; they are contaminated by depleted uranium rounds – although that would mean this A-10 was the victim of Friendly Fire, not impossible from our American friends.
