Hello Peter,

The Lancaster is all there but in 10.000 pieces. It nosedived into the lake and then rolled itself up into a tangled mass of wreckage. But the condition of most of the parts is excellent because the wreck is completely buried in a thick layer of mud. We are at the moment negotiating with the local authorities and the Polish government to have it raised in the near future hopefully.
