Apology

Wargaming Ltd said they now believe no Spitfires were delivered in crates and buried at RAF Mingaladon during 1945 and 1946.

The company said that archival records showed that the RAF unit that handled shipments through Rangoon docks only received 37 aircraft in total from three transport ships between 1945 and 1946.

Most of the Spitfires that were in Burma at the time appear to have been re-exported in the autumn of 1946, they said.

LOLOLOLOLOL!

Tom Cundall seems to be in a bit of a rut.

I seem to remember that the original number 'potentially buried' was about 6.

Just a big 'pfffft!' all round really.
