I heard the guy talking on the radio yesterday saying they'd found 36.
MkXIVs apparently. He said there was going to be an announcement made from The Imperial War Museum about it today.

HAVE they found them though ?
On the news last night, all the site scan was showing was a large metal presence somewhere below ground....they had not been able to determine if it definately was any sort of plane, let alone Spitfires ....

Let's hope so, there are far too few of our iconic aircraft such as the Spitfire and the Lancaster left, it amazes me how we allowed that to happen.
My fingers are crossed.

Post WW2 there were a number of historic ships in Portsmouth harbour that dated back to the Napoleonic era. the Navy towed them out to sea & used them for target practice
All thats left is HMS Trincomalee (1817) in Hartlepool & HMS Gannet in Chatham
