There is a persistent story here in Oz that there is treasure trove of aircraft and vehicles buried ubder Castle Hill in Townsville North Queensland Oz.

Please note:
"Unconfirmed reports indicate approval was given for the construction of an underground Area Combined Headquarters in Castle Hill in 1943.[5]"

Posted by the Burma Spitfire team on FB on 11 2 13:
"Hi all, so things are apparently progressing pretty well, albeit at a fairly glacial speed. Because it's a working airport, the team need to work during quiet periods, which means a total of 1-2 hours a day. They are also having to dig by hand, due to the sensitive nature of the area they are digging, so there's little progress made each day. On top of this, the licence to dig needs to be reapplied for each and every single day. Seriously. So there's still a lot of work ahead. We appreciate that the info we are able to provide is pretty patchy and incomplete. It's frustrating for everyone. However, there are very good reasons we can't currently provide as much background info as perhaps we would like. This is just how things have to play out at the moment. For what it's worth, David remains really positive he'll get the result we are all hoping for."

I hope it's true, but this is looking and sounding not so promising. I thought they had identified where the crates are already? There is a lot of guess work going on to me in that video. Plus I bet there is a ton of local corruption going on. Re-applying to dig every day? Come on.

Jason $50 someone is going int behind them after they leave everyday and checking, as soon as they find something, they'll deny their application to dig, and steal the crates.

Search called off as it transpires Spits may never have even been sent there in the first place or sent back later.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21483187
