Though 1,430 Hampdens were produced only 4 complete or substantial parts remain making this a very important restoration. This aircraft crashed on a Swedish mountainside en route to Russia on the night of 4th September 1942. The remains were discovered in 1976 by the Västernorrland Historical Society. The wreckage was recovered by the Swedish Air Force and returned to the RAF. Restoration started in 1989!
