| Lost P-38 found in shallow water - off a beach in Wales!?  A P-38 fighter that was forced to ditch off a Wales (UK) beach in 1942 has been found. A family discovered the fairly intact wreck, in shallow water, July 31, 2007 when shifting sands exposed the aircraft. TIGHAR and British authorities hope to recover the aircraft and are keeping its location a secret and under watch to prevent looting. Recent storm activity has since recovered the wreck.

| Re: Lost P-38 found in shallow water - off a beach in Wales!? My big question is how much of the bird is left? I really don't have any clue, but I'm curious how quickly she was covered in sand. That would have kept it in decent shape I would think? | |||||||||||||
