British farmer’s quest to find lost Spitfires in Burma - Telegraph

This is probably the best article I've found - an interview with David Cundall by the Telegraph. Makes some interesting points - apparently a borehole has been dug down to the crates, and a camera shows them to be in 'good condition'. Plus, they put teak beams over the crates when covering them so they wouldn't crush.

He says there are another 60 Spits buried elsewhere in Burma. Oh my! To a massive Spitfire enthusiast, this whole thing probably couldn't be any more exciting... and they may start digging in the next three to four weeks!
