Story has been circulating for quite a while now, the latest severely puffed up version being in the Daily Mail today (almost a full page, no less).

 

These are it appears Mk 14 Griffon engined variants. (so the pic in that article link here is as usual for the press WAY off target!!) They may have been crated for transport, but the area is super wet and super humid, is very boggy ground as it gets huge rainfall each year, so what are the prospects of a decent preservation state??? Does not seem good to me!!??

 

The usual Press, number games going on, too................as a max of 60 is being quoted elsewhere?

 

In the same vein, I do know where a lot of spares for our old buses are, after WW2 ended they had a clear out and filled the redundant inspection pits at one garage with them as hardcore......we have our eyes on that being closed!!
