Over the years I have heard a lot of speculation about Poona and the aircraft that were alledged to have been dumped in a quarry and buried at the end of the strip there - mostly said to be single engined fighters but things have gone quiet over the past 10-15 years so I don't know if anybody followed it up or it just went away as a topic. Certainly one US restorer came away with some P47 stuff in 1988 but it was mostly components. Poona is also the site of a number of B24 rumors in the past so perhaps something remains there for a look.
