Lightbulb Burried Mosquito at Abbotsinch. Canadian Lanc at Glasgow

20 years ago, I attended an NDT course at the Welding Institute, Cambridge, and a fellow student who was ex-RAF, assured me that he had been ordered to bury a Mosquito (and other aircraft that I do not remember), various Willis Jeeps, and other junk at Abbotsinch, during his National Service. Now that excavations are being carried out in preparation for possible runway extensions, I wonder what may re-appear.
30 years ago, a Canadian Lancaster that had been a crop sprayer, flew into Glasgow and then flew on to Strathallan. The private Strathallan collection was sold off in the early 1980s. Does anyone know what became of the Lanc?
