: Hi everyone,

I wouldn't be too surprised , the major museums were approached about a relatively intact Lanc that took part in the Tirpitz raid and bellied in Russia, they were not interested because of a) the cost of recovery and restoration and b) they already have an example of the Lanc.

regards

Dave
