Hope that they are all happy! Regarding the "hope they are greased" comments... anyone who has been in the military and had to take cosmoline off of a weapon or equipment knows how well the stuff protects and what a bear it is to get off. The Brits were very good at this so lets see...

That's not good news. I'm still hopeful they find something.

I wonder if the metal detectors were picking up Marston matting buried at the airstrip? But then again, why or who would bury that? Post war raw material was in high demand.

Why would you bury dozens of airplanes. Lots of people had to have been involved and rememberd lots of details, if it ever happened. It never made sense to me. More likely they were crated and SHIPPED.
The Iraq's buried some jets during the over run- But then look at who was managing their show... |

The military pretty much invented the toss stuff into a hole in the ground mindset.
Not really a sustainable theory. They'll be mining landfills within 50 years.

There was a French fleet sunk to prevent German capture during takeover.
And a German fleet sunk by saboteurs in a fyjord of Norway/Sweden to prevent introduction into the war. |

Wandered off somewhere...

I got to see Glacier Girl at the Reno Air Show a few years back. I had just seen the show about her a few weeks before. A real treat. The Spitfire find would be even cooler if true. Sad thing about the p-38 find was (to me) that the original guy finally went broke and turned the whole project over to some super rich guy who finally got her flying.

Didn't it also crash after the first restoration? I thought I saw that or maybe imagining it?

I don't remember that. I do recall that they recruited a pilot who was familiar with them to test fly it and he would not until they fixed a lot more.
