Just when you thought you'd heard the last of buried Spitfires - more locations come to light:

Is The Telegraph the UK's version of The Onion?

Either way, I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of Spitfires buried in my back yard. I will sell the rights to dig up my yard to the highest bidder. On a related note, I'm thinking of putting a swimming pool in my yard, so don't bother putting the dirt back if you don't find anything.

I'm thinking of setting up a company with the sole purpose of attracting investors interested in funding a project aimed at attracting other investors who themselves are interested in investing in potentially realistic although highly hypothetical excavations around the birmingham area orientated towards the discovery of some sort of clue as to where the hell the Spitfires are burried.
If anyone knows what I am talking about please let me know by putting large amounts of money into a sealed envelope covered in grease and leaving it 6 feet underground somewhere near Edgbaston. I'll find it.
