This is a great story, but I am waiting with bated (yes, that’s the correct spelling) breath for the pix from that group of Spitfires that were found, buried in crates and cosmolene (or equivalent) in...Indonesia, was it?
That’s going to be a droolfest.

I read that story also....can’t wait for the pictures!

Seriously? That's awesome. Wonder if they can be returned to flightworthy status.
On the other hand, WTF. The British lost air superiority and many pilots in the region were flying obsolete planes against the Japanese. Not to have used these Spitfires seems criminal.
