Buried Spitfires Update

[Bill Greenwood]

Kevin, your reference says that the archeologists have calleed off their search at the main site. It doesn't say that David Cundall has stopped at the other sites.
Now I never thought the Spits were there, the buried story doesn't make any sense.

And Ron, the idea of purposely burning an new servicable Spitfire is abhorent to me and also makes no sense. In 1946 a Spitfire, especially a Mk XIV, was still a front line fighter, and had military value. Jets were begginning to come in , but the RAF used Spits up to 1958 and many other countries used and would have been glad to have them. Israel , India, and Ireland for instance.
So when we hear from Peter Arnold that there is no more searching going on or any good leads to follow, then I would say there is no realistic expectation of finding one. Until then, pehrhaps a small hope.
