Thanks for that mate. Sad as I may be, that was an interesting read. The sceptic and pessimist in me says no. Wouldn't it be great to be wrong?

Ther's been lots of similar stories here about buried aircraft and Merlins, no-ones ever found them tho'!!

Hmmm, I heard a similar story about Hurricanes in crates in Russia.

Who knows!

My eldest bro told me he heard some stories when he was in the RAF, about some lancs that were buried in crates in Lincolnshire :-o

Might have to queery him on that after reading this story...........

It would be nice if any were found but I do think it's more a case of chinese whispers.

Interesting reading though, thanks for the post!

I've heard stories at Bruntingthorpe about the yanks burying a load of gear, somewhere, up there. Nobody knows where though

It was probably our gear mate. The government at the time paid for the hole to be dug
