I would say that they defiantly would not have been there since 1942.
All the fighters they had then in Burma were some old BoB Hurricane Mk. II's, The AVG for a while & a few Buffalo’s. (Info from General Slim’s great book)
1945 is far more plausible.

All reports I've seen say 1945, at the end of WWII in Asia. I don't think that is in question. What is uncertain is how many there are.
If
this article
is correct they were brand new aircraft, crated in Britain & never re-assembled. Wartime pre-packaging was designed to withstand years of storage in the worst conditions, even under sea water. In that case they could be in excellent condition.
PS. It's
definitely
. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
