Thank you very much for that very interesting article, thank goodness they are not sending the Time Team out there, because they would most likely only find fragments of wooden boxes, and then with the aid of computer graphics show us all what the box looked like.

But to be serious if they do find these aircraft, I wonder how much we will have to pay the Burmese Government for what rightly belong to the Air Ministry?

I was miffed on my recent Far East tour at the UK generously returning lands we spilled blood for. Malaysia is now sooo radicalised by arab islam that the streets hail with prayer-calling 5 times a day, when all business stops for 30mins.

Our chinese taxi driver was inconvenienced by roads being grid-locked while the muslim drivers stalled to pray or face police wrath.

I first heard this several weeks ago a British farmer has bought the right to the aircraft and will pay a % to the Burmese government. He then legally owns the aircraft and can do what he wants with them.
