From an historic viewpoint - What a find -
Towards the End of WW II the Brits had shipped some 30 Spitfires in crates to Burma - they were buried in the crates to keep them out of the hands of the Japanese. These "brand new" Spitfires have been found and will be returned to Britten.

Huh, I just ran several search queries on nytimes.com and couldn't find a recent article about spitfires or WW II. Maybe it was written on another site?

Well, considering they expect the excavation to cost 500K pounds, add in the cost of shipping them back to England, then plop a big fat sum for being a major part of their history and culture, and I'd say you'd have to fork over a crate full of Euro's just to touch one of them.
