Buried Spitfires in Burma


Recommended Posts

Wouldn't it have been easier to dig in the archives than Burma? I was surprised they hadn't discovered this earlier:

 

"Most significantly, the archival records show that the RAF unit that
handled shipments through Rangoon docks, 41 Embarkation Unit, only
received 37 aircraft in total from three transport ships between 1945
and 1946.


"None of the crates contained Spitfires and most appear to have been

re-exported in the autumn of 1946," the statement concluded.
