The MoD won’t sell the aircraft for anything except scrap due to leagal liability issues, the exception to this is if a company with the approvals to inspect and certify the aircraft was to buy them.

With the refurbishment and engine retrofit issues likely to cost £120k per aircraft unless a military or corporate customer is found who wants 20+ airframes I can’t see these aircraft ending up as anything other than scrap.
