There are also apparently a few Mustangs buried at Maralinga that, although on site there during the nuclear tests, were not supposedly used as target aircraft. I have seen old photos of these Mustangs when I worked at Maralinga during the cleanup and it's believed they were either buried there or flown out by someone on the sly! My tip is they are buried there.
There are definitely a number of Swift jet aircraft buried on site as they were used in one instance as targets for a nuclear test. The bomb wasn't detonated close enough to destroy them, but only damage them. There were all pushed into a bomb crater and buried. I wouldn't recommend digging them up though!
