One of the blokes I worked with mentioned he'd heard something about this so I did a google search and found a newspaper article listed here

Basically, David Cundall of North Lincs, has spent the last 15 years trying to find the location of a group of Spitfires that were preserved, crated and then buried towards the end WW2 when they were "surplus to requirements". He found them at a former RAF base and apparently the crates are being returned to the UK after the improvement in the government relationship between Burma and the UK.

I for one would love to be there when they open the first crates!
