"The plight of the buried aircraft came to Mr Cameron’s attention at the behest of a farmer from S****horpe, North Lincs, who is responsible for locating them at a former RAF base using radar imaging technology."
The above is taken from an article in a U.K. paper which all but puts an "X" on a Google map for us (how many RAF bases were there in Burma?)...but, here in the U.S. we're told the site is being kept veryyyyyy hush-hush(!):

Edit: Well, I'll be darned!!! Evidently there's a computerized 'censor' at work here! I didn't know the 'Forum had one!
The name of the town is "S-c-u-n-t-h-o-r-p".
