Crash landing in North Wales in 1942, this Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft is now protected almost permanently by nature! Nature has uncovered the plane just three times since it crash landed, once in the 1970s, once in 2007 and again the most recent was in 2014. The exact location of the aircraft remains confidential to protect the plane, it remains there today.
