Sebuah pesawat Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk milik Tentera Udara Diraja Britain ditemui di tengah-tengah gurun utara Mesir selepas hilang pada Jun 1942. Penemuan dilakukan oleh beberapa pekerja syarikat petroliam yang sedang mencari tapak menggali minyak di padang pasari tersebut. Pesawat yang dipandu Sarjan Dennis Copping terhempas beratus batu dari penempatan awam selepas mengalami kerosakan akibat ditembak musuh. Adalah dipercayai beliau cuba membuat pendaratan kecemasan tetapi kerana kerosakan instrumen pesawat beliau tersesat dan terpaksa mendaratkan pesawat di tengah-tengah padang pasir. Beliau juga dipercayai terselamat kerana payung terjun dan radio ditemui diluar pesawat. Beliau mungkin cuba menghubungi pengkalan tentera berikat terdekat tetapi gagal. Pihak Tentera Udara Diraja Britain kini sedang melakukan usaha mencari jasad beliau didalam lingkungan 20 batu dari tapak pesawat ditemui. Mereka juga bercadang membawa pulang pesawat ini untuk dipamerkan kepada orang ramai di Muzium RAF di Hendon, Utara London.

Kasihan juga kepada Sarjan Dennis Copping kerana maut akibat ketiadaan makanan dan minuman selepas terselamat dari terhempas. The good news is at least kini nasib beliau sudah diketahui dan usaha mencari jasad beliau untuk pengkebumian sedang dijalanakan.

Kalau terhempas kat padang pasir susah nak selamat nak pulak kalau kawasan tu jarang ada kabilah lalu.  Lagi pun teknologi dulu belum secanggih sekarang sukar nak kesan.

British plane enthusiast wins right to dig up buried Spitfires in Burma



Burma's government has signed an agreement with Lincolnshire farmer and aviation enthusiast David Cundall to allow the excavation of dozens of rare Spitfire fighters which were buried in the country at the end of the Second World War.

The historic find could total 60 of Britain's most iconic fighter plane, the largest number of Spitfires left anywhere in the world.

The deal comes after the personal intervention of David Cameron, who discussed bringing the planes home to the UK when he met Burma's President Thein Sein in April.

Revered as the plane that won the Battle of Britain in 1940, there are only 35 Spitfires still flying around the world.

With a price tag of £1.5 million or more each, Mr Cundall struck the aviation equivalent of a gold mine when he located the planes in February this year, almost 70 years after they were carefully greased and wrapped to preserve them, before being buried in crates.

" We estimate that there are at least 60 Spitfires buried and they are in good condition, " said Mr Htoo Htoo Zaw, Mr Cundall's Burmese business partner.



" This will be the largest number of Spitfires in the world. We want to let people see these historic fighters, and the excavation of these planes will further strengthen relations between Burma and Britain."

Work on digging up the planes will start at the end of October.

The find is even more valuable because the Spitfires are rare Mark XIV fighters, equipped not with the famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engine but with the more powerful Griffon type.

Although more than 20,000 Spitfires were built in Britain during the Second World War, only 2,042 later models were powered with Griffon engines and just a handful are still flying today.

Mr Cundall, 62, spent 16 years and over £130,000 of his own money scouring former RAF airfields in Burma for the planes, after receiving a tip-off that they were buried at the end of a runway in August 1945. It is thought that the aircraft were abandoned in Burma before they ever took to the air because they were no longer needed with so many Spitfires then flying and the war ending.

According to the Burmese press, Mr Cundall and Mr Zaw signed the deal to excavate the planes on Tuesday in Rangoon with Burma's director-general of Civil Aviation Tin Naing Tun.

Burma's transport minister Nyan Tun Aung was cited as hailing the agreement as a milestone in Anglo-Burmese relations, and as recognition by the British government of Burma's recent pro-democracy reforms.

Mr Cameron made retrieving the planes a priority when he travelled to Rangoon in April to meet Mr Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi. But the deal was delayed after a tussle between Mr Cundall and British businessman Steve Boultbee Brooks over who had the right to extract the planes. Most of the Spitfires are expected to be returned to the UK, with some remaining in Burma on display.
