RAFMT Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 They would dig the holes only they need to get the JCBs first which are rumoured to have been buried somewhere in Singapore to prevent the Japs getting their hands on them :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If this results in success, that Cundall bloke would have done pretty good for a privateer... Regardless if he succeeds or not, he's a real Hunter..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I expect the excavations will be delayed because of all the rusty Jeeps in rotten crates that are buried on top of the Spitfires Edited January 17, 2013 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Those in the Vanguard of this project knew that they may be chasing Phantoms. However the Bucaneer atitude, Devil take the Hind most is important. With a Valiant stand I'm sure there will be a Victor. Maybe a hero like Lysander would help, or a magician like Merlin. Though I'm sure the Lynks would been easier if they had led to somwhere like Wessex. Maybe a good luck symbol like a dragon would help? Though they would need it quickly so it would be a Dragon Rapide. (Gets bl**dy boring driving a bus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If it were me, I'd be digging VERY slowly. You don't know if the radar returns were aircraft or 500 lb bombs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 LoL QUOTE. Hopes were raised earlier this month with the discovery of a crate in Myitkyina, in the northern state of Kachin. However the hopes turned to disappointment when it became clear the crate was full of muddy water, which would take weeks to pump out. WHICH WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO PUMP OUT !!! That must be the Short Sterling crates - time for the JCB - time for , JCB 3CX Dipper c/w Extra Dig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
