    I see that the RAF museum are recovering a Dornier unearthed from under sand and salt water in the English Channel. Maybe the RAF museum ought to have a word with our man.......

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Anyone else think the referance to "Donald Trump" might be an appropriate footnote to the story?
    No evidence no Spitfires is my current position.
    At least the Amelia Eirheart folks have a blurry sonar image.

    How many blurry sonar images are there in the Pacific Ocean? There's also a guy in Somerset County PA who claims Bigfoot was at his house, the police said it looked like a bear track. That guy in Myanmar has been at the site for a couple of months, WHY didn't they just dig one up to check the condition? Bore hole report is all we get, there has to be video of that inspection why not release a bit? Like Jim I'm not believing any of this, at least till it's filmed and reported on by a major news source at least.

    PS I'm not disin on you HOH, just those that actually hold out hope these reports are real, at least over in the channel they found a Dornier and are bringing it up.

    I have met people who after consuming a copious amount of "grog" have seen more than Bigfoot...LOL but alas no Spitfires.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    More P40/Tomahawks "unearthed" this week in the USAicon! And no charge for a sneak peek of previously unseen "important" airframe components, complete with ORIGINAL WWII paint.... (Too tired to do more than turn around in the folding lawn chair and do a snapshot just now.)

    Again, send cubic money C/O Milsurps.com for your opportunity to have genuine WWII warbird photons emanating from your very own screen.

    Easier than digging in tropical heat for phantom Spitfires?

    I wish I could get someone to donate 3 mil for my SCUBA excursion to the pacific , and then pay me to post the non results on the Discovery channel. I do think however there is probably a better chance of finding Amelias plane (if not her living soul) than there is of finding the Spitfires.

    Likely they will end up in a personal collection. Something like a No 4 T for the Milsurp subscriber>>>> LOL

    As I was going down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish that man would go away!

    Just replace "man" by "60 buried Spitfires".
