Nice to see the Prime Minister getting something right for a change. The site of one spitfire is enough to warm the soul so just think what a restored squadron worth will look like. I hope they are kept for the nation and not sold on

The finder has been promised that the Government won't make any claims on them, and he hopes to have a squadron flying together. Sign me up for the first airshow they appear at!

"They were waxed, wrapped in greased paper and their joints tarred. They will be in near perfect condition.”

Imagine unboxing them for the first time!

I heard that the mineshafts around Warrington are full of Jeeps and Indian bikes that are still in their packing cases. They were dumped when Burtonwood airbase closed.
