Have you tried giving them a call? Might be the best way to get in touch. I’ve always found them to be very helpful guys (and girls!)

In 1980 while doing my first Yank in the RAF bit, and before I was Spitfire goofy, I remember being in a pub and hearing an old guy talking about Spitfire VIIIs down a mine shaft in crates in Australia.

That’s the only one I ever specifically heard someone talk about.

But sometimes things do show up like the P40 and P38 bits buried in the Aleutians and dug up in the late 80s

Or the Freeman Field digging that has gone on and still is going on.

Wasn’t there a large dump site at RAF Honington as well as it was a repair facility for USAAF bombers as well as an operational field?

Follow the link on the freeman field dig, third picture down.

That is no German part i would say! Methinks thats the missing part of the Radiator from the Typhoon they borrowed isnt it?
