U.S. WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning Plane in Wales
After remaining buried for 65 years under the shallow water and sand in Wales, a submerged US WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning plane emerged. But how did the plane end up here in the first place? Well, in 1942, pilot Robert F. Elliot was on a practice mission when he had to make an emergency landing as a result of a fuel supply malfunction.
But as the plane landed, its belly sheared a wing-tip off in the water and eventually sank. Luckily Elliot escaped that time, but he was shot down aboard another plane three months later and his body was never recovered.
