20 Crated Spitfires Found in Burma????

Really? I have heard half-a-dozen variations on this story usually involving P-38's buried at Clark Field in the Philippines. Could this one be true?

British farmer’s quest to find lost Spitfires in Burma
The Telegraph - 15 April 2012

"The extraordinary plans to dig up the lost squadron were revealed this weekend as David Cameron visits the country.

Now, David Cundall, 62, of Sandtoft, near Scunthorpe, has spoken about his quest to recover the Spitfires and get them airborne.

Mr Cundall has spent £130,000 of his own money, visited Burma 12 times, persuaded the country’s notoriously secretive regime to trust him, and all the time sought testimony from a dwindling band of Far East veterans in order to locate the Spitfires."
