Richard is right. Flygvapenmusem has no interest in the aircraft at all. They did recover the parts and then returned it.
To me it is unbelivable that the museum has no interest in the aircraft remains. I think it would make a very nice exhibit illustrating what the Swedish Air Force had to meet during the war. The fighters escorted numerous bombers to safe haven. That is a story which could have been vividly told with the Easy Elsie parts.
It's a shame...
