Spitfires found in Burma

Twenty new Spitfires, intended for use in Burma but never flown in anger as the Pacific War ended suddenly/technology changed,may have been located:Spitfires buried in Burma during war to be returned to UK - Telegraph and The new Battle of Burma: Find 20 buried Spitfires and make them fly | Mail OnlineI wonder if they will still be airworthy, or too corroded after 70 years to be anything other than museum pieces?And what monetary value will they have?Priceless from one point of view, but must be worth the cost of salvaging them?
