Of course we all wish this story has a fairytale ending, apart from the owners of Spitfire airframes as pension-pots, but in reality Blacksheep's post #13 will most likely take the award for most prescient post. The oiks tasked with getting rid of the airframes would, of course, have had no sentimentality and would have pushed the crates together and doused them with Avgas. Burial would most probably have been a time consuming luxury at a time of considerable urgency.
