I look forward to disrupt.....errrr contributing on the current military stuff, however this excerot from a thread was interesting..
....Well some of these stories are very true.....
About 10 years ago, I was told a story about aircraft, Fairey Barracudas, being 'buried' at a local airfield, so one day, with my best friend in tow, we headed to the airfield with a metal detector.
After about 5 minutes of searching, we literally fell over some rusty old 'farm equipment'. Being inquistive, on closer examination I found what looked to be a fuel filler cap. Then we found bits of metal with round holes in it, which turned out to be part of an aileron.
We took some photos and sent a letter to the MOD asking permission to remove parts etc. The MOD passed the letter onto the Fleet Air
