“They were just buried there in transport crates,” Mr Cundall said. “They were waxed, wrapped in greased paper and their joints tarred. They will be in near perfect condition.”

Outstanding news, a real buried treasure.

Check it, bleed. Bro... was on! Didn't trip. But the folks was freakin', man. Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bone, Home. So Blood hammered out and jammed jet ship. Tightened that bad sucker inside the runaway like a mother. Sheet. - Airplane II
Yeah, even better is that they plan on flying them!

Sounds rather too good to be true.
"Nineteen years of age, eight years public education, three years military service. Intelligent, normally observant and answered all questions freely.
He was arrogant and proud to be a pilot. Fellow prisoners in hospital consider him mentally unstable."
....and if one crated Spitfire should accidently fall....
This sounds so familiar. Nice if it's true though. Unfortunately the stories that are the most unlikely are those that spread the fastest.

Heres the BBC link on this story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17710598. Now find all the other links on this "find" . Then do a small bit of internet research on the history and timeline of the war in Burma then have another careful look at all the links again and realise this story is pie in the PR sky.
Hmm, remember a couple of years ago the zero found in a cave on guadalcanal story. it was too good to be true as well, and why spitfire mkII, wouldnt they have had much later marks prevalent in burma like 9e and 14's. if its true its a boom for museums and private collectors once they sort out the ownership.
I am incapable of debate and will refrain from doing so
Battle of Britain vintage Mk IIs buried in Burma in 1946 ? Seriously.
There does however seem to be some truth behind all the journalistic hyperbole. It seems what we are really talking about is 12 or so RR Griffin powered Mk XIVs which apparently exist but the condition after 65 years is not yet known.
A slightly more accurate news report ...

I keep saying it. There are so many forgotten treasures like this. I also keep wondering how many more there are.
