Pictured aircraft looks to have a fixed tailwhaeel also, so if the Burmese aircraft are wither VIII’s or XIV’s, then I doubt this picture relates to them, but maybe is just a ‘representative’ picture of a Spitfire in a box?
In terms of value, part of the ‘value’ of an aircraft must be associated with its history, so to me an aircraft with combat history would be ‘worth more’ than an aircraft which was only ever crated. however – I love Spitfires, so would love to see many more fly. Also there seems to be an assumption that all (if any) aircraft recovered will be restored to fly – it would be nice if some could remain as discovered if they are in a reasonable state, or maybe fill some gaps in some museums collections.
