In April 2012, the international media reported the astonishing news that British Prime Minister David Cameron had negotiated an agreement with Myanmar President Thein Sein for the recovery and repatriation of more than twenty iconic Spitfire fighters, reportedly buried in their shipping crates at RAF Mingaladon in Burma, as World War Two came to an end in the Autumn of 1945.

Equally astonishing was the fact that the agreement came about not at the instigation of the British Government, nor even of the European Union on whose behalf Prime Minister Cameron was in Myanmar, but because of the single-minded determination of a potato farmer from the remote County of Lincolnshire on the North Sea coast of England, David Cundall. A man with a dream who claimed to have spent sixteen years and tens of thousands of pounds of his own money trying to track down the lost aircraft.

Beginning in the war torn Far East in 1945, Buried in Burma explores how David Cundall’s dream unraveled in one of the most remarkable, colorful and off-the-wall historical “who done it?” stories since the sensational Hitler Diaries transfixed the World in 1983.
