Warbird Information Exchange

Buried aircraft parts? Certainly, and demonstrably. Burying "three B-17s"? Unlikely, to the point of being a fantasy. Junk into a hole is one thing, but the work involved in burying three aircraft, with wingspans of over a hundred feet each makes it completely impractical and a self-defeating exercise.

The Aussie F-111 burials are interesting, butI doubt that anyone would believe that the reasons for burying them was one which would have been considered, let-alone applied to war-surplus junk in the late-1940s.

Cheers,
Matt

Bearcat's being spirited thru the backdoor out of Vietnam via the Thais. A recently discovered Martin Baltimore(or Maryland...he never clarified) in Burma....on the way. The intact undersea B-32 which he swore he saw detailed photos of, but which mysteriously never came to light. Norty, Norty Boy!

Oh yes, I'd forgotten the Vietnam saga. A friend was close to writing a check at one point, for one of the ex-Skyraider R-3350s that were supposed to have been recovered from there.

Oh boy, I had no idea

Guess I should give up on the P-38 dream then.
