Written Question
World War II: Military Aircraft
Monday 1st December 2025

Asked by: Lord Cryer (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

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.

Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

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.

Ministry of Defence Procurement: UK-manufactured Products

"My Lords, in the two or three years after the end of the Cold War, around 150,000 jobs were lost in defence manufacturing. Everyone is right in hindsight, but now, looking back, that looks extremely short-sighted. Is there not now a need to reverse that process and expand our manufacturing …..."
