One man’s search for allegedly long-lost Supermarine Spitfires in Burma is continuing, thanks to new financial support from Claridon Group Ltd.
English farmer David Cundall garnered worldwide attention in 2012 when he set out on a search for dozens of new-in-the-box Spitfires that he claims have remained buried beneath Burma soil close to Yangon International Airport, a former World War II Royal Air Force base, since the close of the war. Cundall’s reports prompted Wargaming.net to send a team of archeologists to investigate, but the group pulled its funding last year after no Spitfires were found.
