Just, amazing. Wow, this is going to be a fun story!

[WILLIALAL]

This is pretty exciting news, as so few of these WWII plane still exist.

How does Myanmar feel about this?

[Logical me]

Fantastic. What a treasure. Hope some of them ends in America at air shows. Being a pilot I sure would like to see a low pass.

Sixty spitfires is enough for three full squadrons.

60 Spitfires doing a fly-by. That would be fun to see.

“Never have so many owed so much to so few.” I hope they teach history with them.

This should be great! The condition of the planes has to be pretty decent (relatively speaking)if they are in closed crates, and would be even better if some of the parts had grease or cosmoline smeared on them to prevent corrosion...This is wild!

[tanknetter]

Have they determined what Mark(s) of Spit these are? I thought they were late war examples buried as the RAF withdrew with the end of hostilities.

[taildragger]

Sir Winston spoke eloquently about the sacrifice the Spit Pilots made during the Battle of Britain...

Since Sir Winston's bust has been removed, I am sure Da-One will not be amused...

BTW, I know a young warbird restorer in my aviation circles. Boy was he geeked when this story broke, the warbird community is jazzed over this to say the least. I think they are salivating at the prospect of some of these getting out to mortals like us....

[montanajoe]

This is so cool, hope they are packed in cosmoline though...

[Snickering Hound]

Fox News needs to do better, these planes were not buried to hide them from the Japanese, they were buried in August 45’ in their crates because that was cheaper than sending them back to Britain.
