Aren't they too busy slaughtering people to worry about planes?

Burma, soaking wet crates for 65+ years, they've caved in and thew weather and earth minerals have probably destroyed them. Alaska, Mojave, Sahara, maybe :salute, south pacific jungle Island? Nope! IMO.

Anyway, let's hope for the best.
I'd like to have someone find Bf 109 or Fw 190 in a similar forgotten crate though.

Quite fascinating!  Lets hope some history can be salvaged from this  :rock     And on a side note, do any flying 109's remain?  Think I heard something about the last one collapsed the gear on landing or caught fire?
