Kermit Weeks Lancaster

I'm looking for the fate of the ex Strathallan Collection/Charles Church Arvo Lancaster , I saw this aircraft many times when I was younger , I know Charles Church intended to have it restored to flying condition before his unfortunate death , I heard that Kermit Weeks bought it but it is supposedly lying like a pile of scrap at Sandtoft Airfield ??, does Mr Weeks intend to have it restored ??? , this was a stunning aircraft when it was at Strathallan , I wish I had taken more photos , what happened to the Mosquito, Spitfire ,Hurricane ,2 Ansons, the Miles Magister and the Fairey Battle , I know the Lysander went to the Shuttleworth Collection and the Swordfish went to the RNHF.Is Sir William Roberts still alive ??.What happened to the Comet and the Shackleton that wer on external display???, if they were broken for scrap , who scrapped them ??? , any info on the fate of the Collection would be much appreciated
