Yet, when the times were tough, of course we had to bail them out.

Ahhhhhhhhh, nobody does anything for squat, eh! They all want a finger in the pie for doing nothing whatsoever.The Myanmar government will get one plane for display at a museum, as well as half of the remaining total.

Re: Burma,.. buried Spitfires update
John,
I can understand the Myanmar government wishing to keep a Spitfire for display but, asking for half as well! ..........very cheeky indeed!
I dare say the sticky fingered bureaucrats will auction their share ..... off to the highest bidder!
Still,......looking on the bright side. They might be cheaper than the Hurricane that Bonhams are selling.
