Whats interesting is a friend of mine traveled to Thailand and was in contact with some of the big airforce brass there and he was able to get into a big hanger on some airbase outside of the capital, I dont remember the name of the city. But anyway the hanger was being used for storage of all the ex airforce aircraft and when they went in, there was about fifty aircraft stored in there all pushed tight together, including Spitfires and Bearcats and some others he mentioned too, from the pictures I saw I could see Bearcats in the background as well as MKXIV Griffon engined Spitfires in the foreground. He asked if any could be put up for sale. Nope government property and they were not to be sold. This was in about 2003 when I saw the pictures when he got back from his trip.
