What ever makes you think something is amiss. Guy buys Vulcan for £ 6K, RAF fly it to Newark (it just about lands). Many volunteers keep it in good order, no parking fees are paid. Then said guy sells it for £ 25 K, cos that is the market value if it went on ebay (this one is no pile of rot).

This is England remember. A country of football yobs and old boys clubs

Besides. There could be another 'aircraft' bought for £ 6 k, flown to a larger airfield. Owner wants to fly this one, but pockets may be deep, but no one like reaching for the very bottom. So drums up public support and things might just happen, even with some extra help (it could be you !!).
Then if you look at the figures for costs involved, you see a large ammount earmarked for storage at said larger airfrield also owned by owner of plane (said site already makes a profit) by other means. So I guess no one has nothing but the aircraft in mind.
