To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to recover the last remaining Lancaster bomber of 617 squadron currently located in Sweden.

While there are no plans to recover the Lancaster bomber of 617 Squadron located in Sweden, I understand that the wreckage is monitored and cared for by the Porjus Arkivkommitté, the local Swedish Archival Committee.

The aircraft is in poor condition, and any recovery attempt would require considerable time and funds. However, the Porjus Arkivkommitté have put in place a walking trail and signage around the site for those wishing to visit, so that they may learn about the history of the Lancaster bomber raids and her crew.

The Royal Air Force pays tribute to the sacrifice and courage of Bomber Command by keeping a Lancaster flying on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and by preservation of a Lancaster in the National Collection within the Royal Air Force Museum.
