people said that about the p52 fighters buried under the Ice in the Arctic......but they were found............and I HAVE seen Nessie.................so!! they'll be there somewhere.......just a case of kickin' over a mole hill or two.
They were P38 Lightnings (and a B17, I believe, which was squashed flat). They got one P38 out (Glacier Girl), but the others are still there I believe.
What I find odd about the Spitfires (and I'd love for something to be found), is that if they just wanted to get rid of them to stop them being used by anyone else, why bother to go to the effort of burying the things? It would be so much easier if they just bulldozed the lot into a pile in the middle of the airfield, poured on several gallons of petrol and set fire to the lot.
All you'd be left with is a pile of aluminium "xxxxx".
