The wreckage of a WWII aircraft has surfaced once again on Cleethorpes Beach, Lincolnshire, prompting a stern warning from local authorities. The RAF Bristol Beaufighter, which met its untimely end in 1944, has been intermittently exposed over the years due to shifting currents and wind. This time, however, the Cleethorpes Coastguard reports that an unusually large portion of the wreckage has been revealed. The aircraft’s ammunition, they caution, remains live and in a highly unstable state, with a significant risk of detonation. The public is being strongly advised to steer clear of the wreckage to avoid any potential harm.
