Not recently, digged (dug?!) on several in the 80s/early 90s

they do exist but unfortunately many are built on now. Many have loads of trash on top!

Brize Norton has loads of wartime German stuff but it is under the main runway!

Regarding the Typhoon firewalls...still exist and much of the stuff has resulted in several Typhoon cockpit projects.

: abandoned airfields lately?

: where parts have been unearthed?
