Have they tried Ground-penetrating radar?

We watched this Mosquito fly at Victoria about ten days ago for the first time, sounded great.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, there is a fantastic old movie called "633 Squadron" with Cliff Robertson. Full hardcore airplane porn with DH Mosquitos flying around the green hills and valleys of Ireland. If you love this aircraft, you need to see that movie.
