The phenomenon of ‘Aviation Archaeology’ – finding the wrecks of long-lost aircraft – has captured the public’s imagination for years and millions have watched TV documentaries showing legendary machines being lifted from their muddy graves.

This page covers the latest inside news from the aviation archaeology world along with recording some of the most significant digs from the past 40 years.
