After the Burma Spits

[Jigsaw]

I wonder how many more will be brought to the fore.

Spitfires or parts of Spitfires I can believe especially as it is in the Far East, but Lancasters, I doubt it somehow!!

Hmmmm wrapped in hessian sacking.

I'll have a word with my next door neighbour who flew Lancs from Elsham in WWII. Although he is very deaf and forgetful, he is otherwise on the ball, for a 95 year old.


On a similar tack I think this was posted somewhere recently:

However I can't really understand why WWII Lancs would be buried instead of scrapped/spares recovered and surely someone 'official' would have come forward by now.

Precisely. Abroad I could believe, but on home turf with no threat etc?

Edit: I don't like the article about the F-111's I hope Cluny doesn't see it

I too have heard about this story, when my eldest brother and I were both in the RAF, ( I left 20 years ago)he told me this self same story, so there may be some element of truth there somewhere.........

lets hope so..........
