The BBC News Scotland web site reports on this incident:-
'Workmen who were draining marsh land near the town of Nieuw Chappelle, in Belgium....still inside the wreckage of his Spitfire fighter...many personal effects were recovered and were well preserved....'
One could imagine under these circiumstances and time scale that the wreckage of this Spitfire could be quite substantial.
Do any of our Belgian or Dutch friends have a site report?
