Hi Paul,

Ah, if the East Kirkby project is classed Russian as well. I thought it was recovered from Sweden. But it was of course one of the 144 sqn machines bound for Russia (but didn't make it).
There is also the static Hampden in Canada. And according to Tony C there are now two seperate projects at East kirkby.

Please let them donate the Wellington wings to the group who recently recovered the wreck from Lewis, or else to Brooklands so they can make another Wimpy.

I believe the bits in Sweden are half of the wreckage now at East Kirkby, but I read somewhere that these bits were to be (or have been) donated to the East Kirkby project.
