Hi has anyone seen photos or have any facts on the recovery ops of the P-38s burried there? :roll:

What about the P-61s that were dug up ?Real truth or just more urban B.S? :shock:

Thanks!Mike

Probably no truth whatsoever, sorry.

Sadly, the source of those 'stories' has failed to come up with any evidence at all, for this or any other supposed discoveries / recoveries that he was claiming (Spitfires and Fiat G-55s in Syria, P-61s being imported to the US via Australia and the UK, Bearcats, Skyraiders and R-3350s from Vietnam, B-32 Dominator underwater).

Sadly, these must be filed under 'fantasy', at least until a single shred of evidence is forthcoming.

B-32 underwater was just a ruse. Everyone knows it's on the moon.

Probably busy sorting out the paperwork for the R-3350s that were 'on the water' from Vietnam in July 2005. Or getting the Lewis Gun for Shuttleworth's Sopwith Pup released, after it was 'stuck in UK customs' over a year ago. Or maybe sending the promised satellite shots of the Syrian Spitfire 24s to a well-known UK Spitfire historian. Or looking for the photos of the P-61s that passed through Melbourne docks.

Funnily enough, none of these things ever arrived.

Mike, John can be found pedalling the same old rumours, speculation and plain old BS over here: http://www.warbirdz.net/phpBB2/index.php
