A local chap was a Spitfire pilot in WW2. Around 1942 he was listed as missing in action in North Africa and nothing more was discovered until the early 1960s. His plane was found intact in the Sahara with him still in the pilots seat.
It seems he came to a stop against a dune in a sand storm and was buried there. 25 years later the sand blew away and exposed the plane.
