Finningley is ideally suited with new road links and a railway station planned, and a great reputation for service. It could take traffic from Humberside, Leeds-Bradford and Manchester.
If the fate of this Vulcan depends on a short ferry flight, the Doubting Thomases may be confounded.
After what has gone on before, it wouldn't surprise me if VTTS have not actually dared contact the CAA at all, knowing what the answer will be from them and in particular RR/Marshalls etc........
Of course they are going to say they are exploring that possibility to do the usual stirring up of their fanboys, as we can see........
I can just imagine how that call went, if it ever happened........"Hello CAA, VTTS here, just a call to ask about ferry flying the Vulcan to another location, as we're in a bit of a pickle...." <click>......."err, hello, hello..........err......"
As for your other notions regarding the future use of DSA and its ownership, especially the council trying to acquire and run the airport as a going concern.......that's the stuff of pure fantasy!
