About 4 years ago, German vintage aviation magazine “Flugzeug Classic” featured two small articles about a group attempting to recover several WWII planes from an entombed cave-hanger on a pacific island. The first article was issued in January, when the group was looking for sponsors, the second in March or April when it was declared sponsores were found and the the recovery expedition would soon be on its way …
However, the rest is silence. :diablo:
The official website never got updated and there was no reply on any email. So just for the records:
Did an aircraft magazine actually print that?
Not much of a biscuit, no ground-penetrating radargrams, or other estimates. I’m all for the possibility of finding war materials, but an unknown subterranean hangar complex is a bit far fetched.
However, the little article contains a few pearls :p
Like leading away the poor blindfolded natives, to have them refuel and clean the aircraft. I wonder what the union would say to that.
Thank god they had brought “modern equipment” on their holiday.
If people want to run such a scam, please at least fake a few images and produce some radargrams.

If we all had a £1 coin for every time we’ve heard the ‘Japanese Zero in sealed cave’ rumour, we’d all be rich people. Don’t hold your breath on this one….:rolleyes:

Its in no way impossible, to uncover war materials.
Guess we will have to wait for the photos.
