Hello,
about 2 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.
The official website never got updated and there was no reply on any email.

I always thought the answer to ‘How to make a small fortune from vintage aviation’ was to start with a large fortune. Seems to be true for the entire aviation industry.

Sounds to me a bit like the story of the fuelled and armed German aircraft in underground hangars under Berlin airport – the rumour came out a couple of years ago but nothing heard since then.
Edit – heres something about it http://www.stelzriede.com/ms/html/mshwma33.htm
