WWII Spitfires digging team leaves for Burma

[mhm]

A team of aircraft enthusiasts is heading to Burma for the final stage of a 17-year search to locate a hoard of Spitfire planes.

The group of 21, lead by North Lincolnshire farmer David Cundall, will fly from Heathrow to begin digging at Yangon International Airport.

Mr Cundall, who first heard stories of the buried planes in 1996, said: "We think we have found them."

He hopes to restore any planes found to flying condition, in the UK.
