And-there are numerous plane dumps in the former Reich, filled-in bomb craters etc. Bf 109V10 e.g. was found in such a crater: http://www.messerschmitt-bf109.de/web.ph...&flugzeug=8 _________________________ Greetings Fran http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/franzee.html ______________________________________________ "War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Well Peter, that report certainly blows away the smoke, mirrors, and cobwebs, and reveals the bear facts, and empty boxes. All far too good to be true! _________________________ Just remember, "No Matter How Little I have Done, It's All The Less For You To Do" Wings Over Bytom Single parent, bringing up my great kids, Thomas, Jessica & Nicola, and trying to do his best all the time.

Quote: But a local businessman involved in the project, Htoo Htoo Zaw, on Saturday vowed to continue the planned digs in the northern city of Myitkyina and Yangon airport, signalling a split within the team. "We haven't started any digging yet. So how can we say for sure whether there are Spitfires or not?" he told AFP. At least one person is still smoking skunk! _________________________ Just remember, "No Matter How Little I have Done, It's All The Less For You To Do" Wings Over Bytom Single parent, bringing up my great kids, Thomas, Jessica & Nicola, and trying to do his best all the time.
