Team searches for buried Rebounding from Sandy fighter planes in Myanmar Fishing industry hopes better days are ahead MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) — While Superstorm Sandy did highly visible damage to homes, boardwalks and roads, it also walloped the Northeastern fishing industry, whose workers are hoping for a small piece of any future disaster assistance that Congress might approve. The storm did millions of dollars’ worth of damage to docks, fish processing plants and restaurants. But it also caused millions more in lost wages to boat employees who couldn’t work for two to three weeks, to truck drivers who had nothing to transport, and to other assorted industries that service commercial fishing. The $9.7 billion measure to fund the National Flood Insurance program, passed by Congress on Friday, did not include anything for the fishing industry; a bill the Senate passed in December would have allocated $150 million for that purpose. Some of the worst damage to fisheries in the region occurred at the Belford Seafood Cooperative on the Raritan Bay shoreline in Middletown, where the pounding waves destroyed a 75-foot-long dock, gutted a popular restaurant, and ripped away all five garage doors and parts of the exterior of office and storage buildings. The co-op’s manager, Joe Branin, estimates the
Dozens of British Spitfires hidden at end of WWII YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A search team led by a British aviation enthusiast arrived in Myanmar on Sunday to begin a dig they hope will unearth dozens of rare British Spitfire fighter planes said to have been buried in the Southeast Asian country at the end of World War II. The 21-member team led by farmer and businessman David Cundall will start excavations soon near the airport in the main city, Yangon. Cundall said the aircraft were buried in wooden crates around 30 feet under the ground and the project would take about four to six weeks to complete. “We are expecting them to be in first-class condition,” Cundall said shortly after arriving at the international airport in Yangon. The Spitfire remains Britain’s most famous combat aircraft. Its reputation was cemented during the Battle of Britain when the fast-moving single-seater

aircraft helped beat back waves of German bombers. Britain built a total of about 20,000 Spitfires, although the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II meant that the propellerdriven planes quickly became obsolete. The planes believed to be in Myanmar were buried by American engineers as the war drew to a close. Searchers hope they are in pristine condition, but Andy Brockman, a freelance archaeologist who is part of the search team, said it was possible all they might find

Nevertheless, he said, “I’m very confident that we’ll have answers to the story of what happened … in 1945.” The venture is being backed by the Belarusian videogame company Wargaming.net, which is best known for its multiplayer titles including “World of Warplanes” and “World of Tanks.” The search team says 36 Spitfires are believed to be buried near Yangon airport, while another 18 are in Myitkyina in northern Kachin state and six more are buried in Meikthila in central Myanmar.
