Spitfires, new in crates, found buried in Myanmar

[Fritzo]

I would love to take part in something like that. Nice payoff.

That is really cool! Would love to see a documentary on the finding and subsequent removal and uncrating of these planes.

BTW-I was kind of hoping for Triumph Spitfires but this is even better.

That's funny I was thinking the same thing. My dad had a Spitfire before I was born and would love to one day restore one.

bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, don't make me get Conky

@busydude - Burma has done what few countries have ever been able to do and that's convert, as you rightly claim, from a dictatorship to a democracy without resorting to violence.

I do think there will be a big payout to Burma to allow these planes to leave their soil and I think that would only be right. If these planes are pulled up in pristine condition they are almost priceless.

Ouch!

Who forgot the drain holes and crushed stone underneath?

Awesome! It will be very cool if these planes can be restored and flown again.
