They did indeed. Unfortunately - as some expected - the Rescue and Relocation Project didn’t generate the public support required.

As an aside, the last statement from Bruntingthorpe (quoted above) came very (very) soon after a request from us to film a supporting piece at ZD241 with BBC News, which was denied.

So what happens next: We have until 31st October to move the jets and at that point should they still be at Bruntingthorpe then court action will be taken against the aircraft’s owner and it then will be up to him to remove them.
We don’t know at this point what the future holds for the two Brunty VC10’s and we will keep you all up to date of any information we get.
Thank you for all your help"
Slightly inaccurate wording in the statement. I think “may be taken” and I believe they are formally owned by a company, not an individual.
