For those of you who haven't already heard about the aircraft above, here's a link to a newspaper article from yesterday.

I heard that the farmer had some issues with his US partner in some other articles. Let's hope that this doesn't go "Barrette Jackson" on them and the goverment wants 2 million a plane. All these 140 planes were buried for a very long time... Wood and Alloy don't do well in water. They might get lucky and at least have some parts and enough pieces to build a few airworthy units. Now if someone could find a stash of ME262 or BF109's.. lol! Even an HS123 would be cool as there are no known to exist.
