Joe Kurr Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think when they start recovering them, the dig will be well-documented. They haven't started yet, so don't expect any pics soon.

joey45 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That would mean we'll have more flying Spitfires then we have Tiffys.....
