Then Spitfires again........

[Peter Laidler]

In The Times today there's an article about opening the old atomic bomb ranges at the old RAF/RAAF base Maralinga as a tourist attraction. Yes......., I know......, not my idea of one either but I'm just telling you how I read it!!!!!!!!!

It also says that there is documented evidence of 6 Spitfires, Centurion (and other) tanks, Land Rovers, trucks and other vehicles including 6x London double-decker busses in shallow graves, buried after being cleared from the bomb test sites and other buried stuff used during the 60's clear-ups.

They were clearing up the SA site while I was there in the late 60's as I met up with some pommy Royal Engineers who were working there.

Maybe we could tell that millionaire who sunk zillions into the crated Spitfires in Burma
