mcspool Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Before you know it the price of a Spitfire in a crate will drop to $50, just like those crated jeeps they sold a while ago! :-D :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 it is interesting to see that the Burma spitfires have now been "found" and that one of them will be shortly going on display in Birmingham. I thought they just think they know where they are buried and have seen a big blob on an underground radar. getting a little ahead of themselves arent they?

shadow_wolf Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 We are already starting to see Spitfires come up for sale, possibly being sold now before there is a few more on the market.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Traceability of components can apparently be a real problem for the classic aircraft folks, and I understand a lot of them can only fly on temporary paperwork. I wonder if the buried ones will have a benefit as the components can be traced to the point of manufacture (assuming it's all still in boxes with readable references).
