[Milsurplus] Buried Spitfires.

[Mark M]

I'll bet huge odds against those allegedly buried NIB Burma Spitfires ever being recovered. 

Nobody would love the rumor to true more than I would, but those buried NIB Spits are a myth in my opinion. There is something about buried treasure stories that make folks irrationally optimistic. Witness Oak Island. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island_mystery

Now about those crated NIB ARR 41 receivers buried in the mudflats at Alameda NAS.  I've found several old salts who, after a few drinks, told compelling eyewitness accounts. Let's start digging. ;)
