Burma's government has signed an agreement with a British farmer to allow the excavation of dozens of rare Spitfires buried in the country at the end of World War II. The historic hoard may hold as many as 60 of Britain's most famous fighter plane, the largest number of Spitfires left anywhere in the world. The aircraft may be Rolls Royce Griffon engined Spitfire Mk.XIVs. Their configuration is still unknown.
