uh huh ...

and Short Stirlings in the Forth River in central Scotland.

Pretty easy to locate old warbird sites when you think about it.

Thinking about it logically then, it can't be spitfires it must be Typhoons in Burma.

Thinking about it logically means they're arguing over a lot of crushed, bulldozed rubbish pushed into a handy pit nearly seventy years ago. Not completely surprized by a falling out between the parties when the old greed glands get so much stimulation.

I note this article now puts the number of buried Spits at sixty!! I am laugh.

Actually in an interview with AVweb, the number has risen to 124.

If true, and I'm not taking a stand either way, this would crash the world market for Spitfires.

Can you imagine being at an airshow and seeing so many Spits that it would actually be boring? Sort of like Ferraris in California.
