I viewed some of the debris from the aircraft on display at the USAF museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio back in the early 1990's. Mostly of these pieces were ones that the USAF wanted to see how well it endured a hot, arid environment, like an engine and a landing gear strut. But the bulk of the airframe was reportedly taken by the Libyan government and is somewhere in their possession.

The majority of the remains are held in a compound in Libya, they were removed from the crash site to prevent further vandalism etc.

It is correct that the LBG has been removed from its crashsite in 1994. There are some pieces left at the original place but they are too small to be detected on GoogleEARTH.

To the same subject I may address to the forum members at this occassion:

LBG-Museum; may I ask everybody for a comment, suggestion or whatever to an eventual project to display the LBG as this famous plane would deserve it?

It is in store, I think an open store, somewhere more urban. Try Tripoli.

Sorry - that comes from answering the last posting on page 1.

August 2007 issue of Aeroplane Monthly dovoted an article to this aircraft, with pictures of the relic, actually stored at the Tobruk Military Museum.
