Welsh Coast P-38 survivor.

There was quite a furore about this semi submerged, relatively intact airframe, earlier in the year.
So what has happened, has it been covered up with sand again, is any attempt being made to recover it.
I don’t know exactly where it is, but with the holiday season apon us I’m sure it must make a great offshore diving platform and source of curiosity/theft.
So what has happened to what must be one of the best relatively intact finds in this country for many years, no doubt the subject of wasteful, useless litigation I expect.

Yes, ta – I’ll close this one in favour of the other. I would merge them, but I think it will become confusing.

Yes

is any attempt being made to recover it.

Not at the moment.

I don’t know exactly where it is, but with the holiday season apon us I’m sure it must make a great offshore diving platform and source of curiosity/theft.

No its not very visible.

So what has happened to what must be one of the best relatively intact finds in this country for many years, no doubt the subject of wasteful, useless litigation I expect.

Basically nothing – its still in situ where it landed 60+years ago.
