Spitfires to be dug up in Myanmar (Burma)
The British finally got permission to dig up those spitfires. (www.google.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
hmmmm, I like this idea, flying one of these, if the guy ahead of you on final is too slow, just take him out with a few bullet rounds!
Maybe the Burmese Air Force could use these aircrafts. I read that the Sabre jet fighters from the 50' s remained in service in the Bolivian Air Force until 1994.
perhapa they might just be able to put together a flyable one.... or more ?
These are Mark XIV Spits which come with Griffon engines 5 bladed props etc. Very powerful 2200 to 2500 HP. Apparently there are over 60 crates. What a find.
Apparently these are Mark XIV Spits which means they have Griffon engines that are just outstanding. Horsepower is in the 2200 to 2500 range. They have 5 bladed props and reports now say there are over 60 of them. What a find!!! Small trivia note props on Griffon engines turn opposite to the Merlin engined aircraft.
My Dad was in the China, Burma, India theater in WW2. He was CO of an airbase. When they left, he said that they pushed a lot of equipment and P38's over a cliff, poured fuel on the pile and set it on fire. Those were the orders. He always regretted doing it.
