After 70 years buried in peat could the unearthed machine guns from a downed fighter still be made to fire?

    Next came fuselage, twisted but in huge pieces, over a metre across, still painted in wartime colours, with neat stencils of the plane's ID and the iconic RAF bullseye-style roundel.


    I got goosebumps just reading the story. I think if I was actually there I would be giddy.

    Awesome! And paid for by a Canadian, to boot!

    Now I know where I want to be buried. That bog's sorta like your own private cryogenic chamber..................except free. 8O

    Glad to see another part of history saved from the ravages of father time.
