Their were claims in EAA’s Sport Aviation about 15 or 20 years ago of up to 1000 P51’s burried on an Island and they needed other to concurr with the person claiming it. It never went any further...

There were also supposed to be bunkers under Berlin that were loaded with late-war Luftwaffe aircraft. Allegedly the bunkers were sealed and bulldozed in. Big story in the aviation world a few years back, nothing else ever came of it.
There were also stories about a divisions-worth of armor and vehicles that Patton hid out in the US Desert Southwest, to be used in the event of a German invasion from Mexico (along the lines of the Zimmerman telegram being implemented 25 years late).
Then there's the legendary British "Strategic Reserve" of early/mid-20th Century steam engines sealed in old railroad tunnels, to be used in the event of a war that cripples the oil transport industry.
