That pigeon's message had the co-ordinates of the buried Spitfires in Myanmar, no wonder they just found those things!

I did chuckle at your comment Sarge.......... You're as cynical as me!

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

You made my day with the Spitfire remark. Very Very funny!

What has the better chance of flying again, the pigeon or the spitfires?

[muffett.2008]

The pigeons DNA can be retrieved and cloned. (A bird in the hand...as the saying goes.)

I did not anticipate the English humor but it is appriciated.

what a sour bunch, lack of sunshine? lol
I think it's pretty cool and hope there is something to the decoding,, and hope there are some "wrapped" Spitfires waiting to be dug up,, and hope that whatever may be in the Churchill River is related to WW2
cheers, Jim
