WWII relics
By RICHARD PYLE

Sixty-five years after an American P-38 fighter plane ran out of gas and crash-landed on a beach in Wales, the long-forgotten World War II relic has emerged from the surf and sand where it lay buried.
Beach strollers, sunbathers and swimmers often frolicked within a few yards of the aircraft, unaware of its existence until last summer ('06), when unusual weather caused the sand to shift and erode.

RE: WWII relics
Don't think it will come out of the water in the same shape as one they found in the glacier ice in Greenland where they have "dug-up" and retored several different WW2 aircraft to "flying condition."
