British team in Myanmar for Spitfire planes dig
UK: A team hunting for a rumoured hoard of World War II
Spitfire planes in Myanmar left Britain on Saturday to start the dig,
comparing the excitement to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
The 21-strong team believe there could be 36 of the iconic
single-seat British fighter aircraft buried in sealed crates up to 10
metres (33 feet) beneath Yangon airport, a wartime airfield, with more
at two other sites in Myanmar.
