Go for it
If the Edmundston Lancaster's fate is to rot away and no one in Canada wants to step up and preserve it, for heavens sake give it to the Aussies. They help fly them in Bomber Command and wouldn't that be fabulous heritage preservation to have three flying, one each in the U.K , Canada and Australia.
The last Canadian Canso amphibian with war time record and the name of David Hornell V.C. in the log book was for sale and the Canadian Heritage people didn't think it was worth keeping in Canada. Surely a tired old Lancaster will not have any particular importance or be of any interest to them.
