"Huge Saxon Gold Treasure Hoard "May" be found in Your Garden!"
Quite.
How many dozen hoards of buried unused and crated aircraft have we been told about over the years? And how many have materialised? Who would go to the effort of digging a hole big enough for that in fear of an iminent enemy invasion when a hundred gallons of avgas would have done the same job of disposal for one ten thousandth of the effort?
The Telegraph article is so riddled with nonsense and inconsistencies (even by Journalistic "standards") it is hard to believe there really is a fact amongst them.
Anyway wooden crates will have rotted and collapsed in 70 years crushing the contents flat under umpteen feet of sodden tropical dirt. There aint gonna be much useful left I fear.
It would be lovely if it were true but I'm not holding my breath.
