ORIGINAL: Mustang Fever

This is the coolest news I have heard in a very long time: 20 Spit MkIIs buried in Burma in 1945, still in the shipping crates and preserved for the trip from England, have been located and are to be dug up and repatriated to the UK. The PM got involved to make it happen.

If they are all got flying again, that will nearly double the number in airworthy condition.
"WOW"!! This is a great find!!! I hope the History channel do a story on this. This is a great time capsule!!
