I remember a similar story about Zero's found in a cave in Indonesia (?) a few years ago. I will believe it when the first Spitfire is dug up.
If the story turns out to be untrue, can I still have one? ()

This is an amazing find. I hope the recovery is documented fully and a series television series made about it.
20 Spitfire Mk IIs! Incredible. A good day to be a WWII aviation enthusiast!

Why that aggressive tone? He is right. The Japs invaded Burma in 1942 and conquered it in 1943. Allies launched a counter offensive during late 1944 and the first half of 1945. The Japanese surrendered on 14th Aug 1945. It really makes no sense to fear about the Japs to invade Burma in July 1945. Plus the CNN article clearly says Mk II ... Really doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude.

Spitfire MkIIs in Burma? Not likely as afik no MkIIs went there.
