Not just Thurleigh, Upper Heyford is also a large car park as well.
Doesn't sound good for the VC-10's. Probably a question mark over the Victor and the Comet as well most likely, although it depends on who owns what. Anything owned by D.Walton is most likely the only stuff (and probably the Lightnings given the post above) that will be OK and moved to what ever area near the Q-shed that is on the property still owned by D.Walton.
Everything else owned by any 'group' like the Buccs and the VC-10's will likely have been given notice.
As mentioned the Tristars are an interesting issue, and presumably their owners have also been given notice to leave as well. I suppose they could be made airworthy and flown out to storage elsewhere....but that would involve a lot of cars being moved.....not to mention costs of getting them ferryable. I suspect, they will be scrapped on site?
