Old but I wonder if there's any updates. Someone mounting a serious attempt to recover even one. For all the talk there actually hasn't bee a shred of evidence that these aircraft are actually there.

He mentions the number of jobs created by this. Now that is a bit of fantasy. Restoring warbirds is a bit of specialist operation.

Aircraft enthusiast David Cundall, 62, has revealed he hopes to repatriate 36 of the Castle Bromwich-made fighter planes in November – at a cost of £1 million.

He 'hopes to' 'at a cost of £1 million'.

I hope to win the Euro lottery tomorrow and help fund the return.

If he said he expected to sign a deal and had a million quid waiting from a sponsor. That would be different.

Hope springs eternal.
