See Maid of Harlech, Harlech Beach, Wales
The skeletal remains of an American Lockheed P-38 Lightning that crashed during the second world war off the Welsh coast. It is normally under 2 meters of sand & water and can only occasionally be seen.
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning, nicknamed the Maid of Harlech, crashed in September 1942 when its pilot, Second Lt Robert Elliott, 24, of North Carolina, got into difficulties during a training exercise. Mr Elliott walked away from the accident, but was reported missing in action a few months later.
The wreckage has remained in its position off the coast of Harlech well beyond the second world war, and this month the site has been granted protected status.
