This Lancaster has been discussed before: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36789&highlight=easy+Elsie+NF920 and http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=383&highlight=easy+Elsie+NF920

Some photos of her can be found here: http://www.warbirdregistry.org/lancregistry/lanc-nf920.html

Incidentally, the wreck remained substantially complete until the mid-1960s, when a local scrap merchant decided to have a go at her. The rear fuselage and empennage was recovered in 1984/85 and put into storage at the Swedish Air Force Museum. Ten years later, the remains were returned to the wreck site.
