| 1323442 | 2013-01-19 02:13:00 | They are still looking, but the chances I think of finding them is pretty slim. :( |

| 1323443 | 2013-01-19 03:54:00 | Surely they had some evidence as to where they were buried before they raised all that cash and got the equipment etc. Three locations - that narrows it down. I wish them well, but i can't help believing they will find a pile of rust on the floor of each crate. |

| 1323444 | 2013-01-19 20:13:00 | Its just another twist on an El Dorado tale. Think about it: Buried 40 feet before diggers were invented. Locals must have seen them doing it and those poor locals would dig them back up for scrap Not for enemy action the Japs were licked Why not just crush them with a bulldozer The wooden crates would have rotted away and everything in would have corroded away to nothing. I saw an Avro 504 cylinder found during excavations at Wigram Airbase and it was rusted blob. The RAF would have the burial in the Squadron paperwork down to the last detail. Seems there was an American eye witness that's the klincher for me. |

| 1323445 | 2013-01-19 21:44:00 | @Prefect That's quite a damming list. But you are probably correct. The Spitfire is revered in the UK (and rightly so) so there must be hundreds of people willing to put money up on such a fools errand. |

The water table is very high out there. |
