Lancaster NF920 "Easy Elsie"
During operation Obviate over Norway 1944, the 617 squadron Lancaster NF920 "Easy Elsie" was damaged by german anti-air defences. She limped eastwards into Sweden and made an emergency landing outside the village of Porjus. There she remains today.
In 2012, I went there to look at the remains.
Several years later, my wife gave me the Hasegawa Lancaster kit, and I knew I had to build Elsie.
The research proved quite challenging. There remains very little documentation of Elsie, but with the help of my good friend Jared Hooper, I managed to put together what she might have looked like before she ended up on the ground in northern Sweden.
The link below shows some of my pictures of Elsies remains, the finished model, and some build photos.
