Hello Richard.
Might be the best thing to do for now to wait and see if the local gov’t changes…

Hi all!
Getting it back to the UK is one option (and to be honest my favourite; I would love to see her back in the UK), but I seem to get little or no response from the relevant local authorities in Sweden. The only responses I got after the Flypast article were surprisingly negative. One group of individuals informed me that I could take the wreck, preserve it then bring it back to Sweden, but they weren’t willing to help.
The other option was getting it indoors somewhere in Sweden (preservation of the remains is the issue I care about, not where it is kept). It’s a shame thhat the people concerned don’t see it that way.
I have been giving serious thought to leaving this project alone, certainly I am not the first person to get this far with this aircraft. However, I cannot help but think that local government officials aren’t in office for ever and I have the time to wait. So I haven’t given up yet.
Unfortunately Easy Elsie’s site is not mine, and the website owner hasn’t answered my e-mails in a while…. so there’s nothing I can do there.
Cheers for the heads up.
Regards,
Richard

How much of that would be useful? If returned to the UK, would it be displayed as crashed or parts incorporated into a rebuild?
IMHO the best thing would be to display her in the same fashion as she is
lying now, but under cover. Although the wings and tail are reasonably complete, the fuselage is shredded. It would need a complete Lancaster fuselage (or built from scratch) to restore her and destroying her originality in the process (oh no, not that discussion again 😀 ).

The link to that URL has been u/s for several months now if not longer. I recently removed if from the ‘Links’ pages of my websites. No idea what happened to the site, sorry.

Yes.

Is this the one that the locals are very protective of and want to preserve themselves, eventually (if I remember the article in Flypast however many years ago correctly)?
