TWENTY WWII SPITFIRES DISCOVERED STILL IN THEIR CRATES

[Hoosier Daddy]

Awesome read. Hope to keep updated on this. Reminds me of the P-38's in the ice story.
Everytime I think of Spitfires two thing come to mind, the book "God is my Co-pilot" and this video...

Yea I was talking to a buddy about it and talked about the ones in the ice . Then was told they found a nother fighter not sure what kind be was found buried in the sand !

The one "in the sand" that they found recently was a P-40 that was discovered by a Dutch (I think?) oil company worker in the Sahara desert. There was a makeshift tent made from a parachute still attached to the side of the plane. The pilots (R.A.F.) remains were not found.

That's the one ! Did they find out the pilots name ?

It looks like the recovery is going to happen and that there may be 60 planes!

Good news indeed.
