140 Crated Spitfires buried in Burma (Myanmar)?

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

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.
