I was involved in a dig last year I told where it was by the chap that supposedly buried the equipment there on a site where there were supposedly buried jeeps trucks spare etc etc we got the mod involved as well and had magnetometers eventually we had dug in excess of 60 holes down to a depth of 20 feet all over the land and all we came up with was a belt buckle and a 60s dinky milkfloat.. Until some one shows me all this buried equipment i reckon its a load of rubbish

Not spitfire related but I have recently been involved in a dig for ex us army vehicles that were supposedly buried in a local field we dug for two days made 40 holes and all we found was a dinky toy.(This was done due to a very popular rumour that a lot of people talked about) Until some one actually shows me these spitfires or a jeep or harley in a crate I will not believe that there is any buried kit in great amounts. With these buried planes it would of taken months to dig a hole that size with the machinery they had back then and if there are so many its even less likely. Even if they had hydralic excavators and an army of dump trucks and people it would of taken weeks. If you work it out how long a spit is and the length of the wings and the size of the crates they were packed in that gives an idea of the size 36 feet of wing 29 feet of fuselage and 6000lbs in weight. No it does not add up. Has any one seen any pictures of them yet?
