I saw that, it really is in amazing condition.

You hear about the Spitfires in Burma?

Here's a couple of of thinks in this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4481 But I also just read another which explains some sort of battle going on between the guy who found them and some guy he got to help him. I've got the find that one again.
