Edmunston Lancaster
A storied Canadian aircraft type with 11 sorties over Germany in WWII, you would think the preservation of this aircraft in Canada would be a 'no brainer'. Of course with a museum community firmly fixated on placing large artifacts outside to the mercy of the elements and a population who is woefully uniformed about the cultural significance of these large items; perhaps the answer is to let someone purchase this Lancaster and restore it to the glory it deserves.
If this was in Europe, that Lancaster would be in a warehouse with a team of dedicated people working to restore it because they understand historical significance and the stark reality that these machines are rare items worthy of saving. The Canadian answer appears to be to vacillate until there is nothing left to save.
Step up and do something or export it.
