Hi Paul,

Or he is looking for any Syrian Spit Mk 22's somewhere in the desert (the legend continues).

Is this the same person who was looking into the rumour that several Spitfires had been buried in Burma, but had lost the address of the eye-witness?

There are also stories of large numbers of unwanted aircraft (Halifaxes, Wellingtons and Spitfires etc.) which were flown out after the war to north africa and buried there after which acid was poured over the engines to destroy them.
