140 Crated Spitfires buried in Burma (Myanmar)?

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hi Tony, thanks for that. I'd like to point out the contradiction I see, which was also pointed out by Richard:

He states that there are 60 planes buried in their transport crates at a secret location 12 metres below ground, to ensure they did not fall into Japenese hands.

And then:

They were shipped to Burma and transported by rail to a British RAF Base in August 1945, they were apparently deemed surplus to requirements.

So when were they buried: at the start or end of the war?!?

Anyway, I hope they are found and that this project will indeed lead to better relations between the people of Myanmar and the UK.
