Um? Spitfires, buried in wooden crates in Burma, in 1945? And the chances of them being anything other than an ugly mess of aluminium oxide, rust-eaten junk, and a vague hint of WW2-grade utility aircraft paint is what exactly? I've heard such tales before (crates of Spitfires sitting on the dock at Murmansk, entirely unnoticed since 1944), but I see no reason to believe any of them...

this version of the story says they were protected in grease and wrapped and would be in near perfect condition.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...ned-to-UK.html there's been similar stories before in Australia. sounds like nonsense, but would be amazing if true.

They buried plenty of material here in England at the end of the war as well. At the closest bomber airfield to me there is a large magnetic anomaly caused by all the buried metal from bombs, Jeeps, aircraft parts etc. Radios don't work anywhere near it, so it must be very large.
I don't think any amount of grease, oil and warping could save much of it.
