Pictures - finally!
They found the crates and are not wasting any time to get them back in the air! ![]() Captions: "Civilian workers running the wing of a Supermarine Spitfire Mark VIII out of its crate prior to assembly" "RAF mechanics, assisted by civilian workers, lift a Supermarine Spitfire Mark VIII onto twin supports during assembly of the aircraft"

Hi Hanno
Good one, but you should have left of the captions, would have been interesting to see how fast that would have gone around the world in the aircraft community, might even have made the evening news. Cheers Phil

Hi All
I know a lot of us MLU guys have been following this story since it first broke last year. It has been an interesting topic to follow, though a lot of us can't see that these crates, if genuine, could still be intact after so many years in the ground in tropical wet conditions. But I would love for it to be true and there seem too many people, including the prime minister of Great Britain being involved so suggest there were actual planes buried at the end of WW2. Today in our state newspaper, the Adelaide Advertiser, there was a small article stating that a team from the UK had arrived in Burma. So I will continue to follow this thread with interest as it is just the sort of thing I would have loved to be part of. Cheers Tony ![]()

Yes it's hit the Melbourne press too. Does that mean it's all true?
