these airplanes were shipped to Burma - thus they were packed in grease for the voyage on the deck of a ship. They never got out of the shipping boxes before they were buried; so reasonably they should be okay... still, I'm most thrilled that the guy who found them gets to recover them - the Brits tried very hard to take the find away from him.Doing it all wrong since 1966

I certainly hope they find them in pristine condition. Still, when they were crated they did not intend for them to have to survive for 60 years underground in a tropical climate.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

I'm not so sure of that James........if the British Military packing methods were anything like ours at the time, getting the 10" of Cosmoline off of them might be the hardest part!
Hoping for the best. Its an awesome story and find, glad the guy who found them gets to recover them as well.
My only wish is that it could be filmed in a old-fashioned boring documentary method, with none of the surreal dramatic reality melodrama that todays audiences seem to require.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

I am glad to see the little guy won...for a change.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

Add me to ^^^^^^!
Warms the cockles of my heart. (whatever the heck cockles are!)
Here's to hoping they film it "properly"
No wonder today's youth seem ADDishy... With all that flitting around!
Too bad there isn't a real life "LEVERAGE" crew! Lol They would ensure the little guy won!
