The ghost rises - P-38 Lightning salvage off the Welsh coast.

The ghost rises: Ambitious plan to salvage WW2 Lightning fighter from sea off Welsh coast.

The decaying wreckage of a Second World War fighter plane, exposed after 65 years by changing tides on the Welsh coast, is to be removed. 

Known as the Maid of Harlech, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft was discovered in July 2007 after decades hidden under the sands.

It was the first time the rare United States Army Air Force (USAAF) fighter had been seen since it crashed off the Welsh coast in 1942 while on exercise.
