View Full Version : What is it?
I was idly google-earthing around Wales, to see if I could find the P38 which has reportedly been discovered, when I came across an aeroplane in the water at 215/1.3nm from Llantwit Major railway station. The planform suggests a motor glider. Anyone have any ideas? The imagery date is 1.1.2001. There's also an interesting white circle just off the village of Hillend: looks like something has been purposely obscured. BTW, if anyone knows the coordinates of the P38, don't post them on here; let's keep the looters away.

What makes you think the aircraft is in the water ?
Doh!!! You could be right. A case of target fixation I suppose. I saw what I was looking for.
I rekon its a Vigilant (Grob 109B) from the VGS at St Athan

Which Hillend? Co-ords would be good.
51.35' 46.98" N 04.17" 56.63" W
As Herod suggests I won't post the coordinates, but if it's the same P38 that I'm thinking of then it's quite a ways further north than the area mentioned above.
