It has been reported that an excavation contract has now been signed. I hope the National geographic or Discovery are at hand to document the whole thing.

The man behind the excavation money will be selling them for a princely sum at Bonham's, not ebay!

Bonham's, that just ebay with a posh accent, a bow-tie and some Champers if the price goes high enough........... Grin

good luck with that!

On a serious note, can anyone explain to me how many Spitfires were are talking about here? I have heard <20, ~20, 20+, and now 60+

I have also heard that there are a good many OTHER British warbirds there...Is this true?

No matter what, this is probably the greatest warbird discovery in a very long time.

Figures are argued but we're looking at between 60-80 Spitfires alone!
