I don't think it was the scrapped one.That was put there,it was a write off that had been dumped in a small quarry pond for use in dinghy drill,and had most of its bits removed.This one ended up in a lake of its own accord!
I think the serial no. was L7300, but i will have to check.I know its story is mentioned in the book "Lancaster -story of a Famous Bomber".This contains all the serials to Lancs and Manchesters in the back,and the entry states- ditched in a lake near Waddington, not struck off charge or scrapped.It might be worth looking into.
Thanks,
Richard.
