Question

I would be sceptical for the most part, for a few simple reasons. For a start aeroplanes are an awkward shape and size to bury. And where would the spoil go? For another thing, scrap ally was very valuable, and some Bilko type would have flogged it.
There is plenty of evidence that surplus ammunition was dumped at sea, however, and that a lot of it is still down there.
