Peter,
Thanks for the info. I was talking to another visitor at the former Lincolnshire base RAF Metheringham (many years ago) and he told me the rumour of buried Lancs. Apparently they were located on the land of a farmer who was less than keen to entertain any kind of aviation archaeology.
I was quite excited at the time but heard no more and assumed it was just another of those "aircraft in a barn" type myths.
Shame about the soil conditions. Still can't imagine why anyone would go to the trouble of digging such a big hole when any local scrappy would be happy to do the job for free!
Cheers
Dave
