Sadly theres no real viable alternative, other than the owner putting his hand in his pocket and getting several hundred thousand pounds out. Money he could never recoup from either taxiing it or as a museum piece, on an asset sadly worth only a fraction of that.
And this owner is responsible for 808 being at Cosford, 148 being at Newquay and to an extent 150 at Dunsfold. In addition hes also mainly responsible for the preservation of several forward fuselages/flightdecks (104, 109, 108, 106, 149).
