Alex, are you sure? I googled this a couple of days ago and couldn't find anything recent. All news reports are from April and May. After that complete radio silence?

Cheers,

Hi Richard, Do you think the guy who buried it was hoping someone would find it in years to come just to put a smile on there face . I reckon it was put there by a carrier restorers missus whilst he was at work just to stop him working on it, either way what nut case would bury it there in the first place??. either way i hope it will be saved.

kev.

Finally I got it home! Pictures will be posted on monday. Filled with snow and frozen soil, it will be stored outside until sping. I donīt have any warm garage to park it in for the moment.
Will consider trade
