Budget for Lyneham is more like £7M pa purely for the site, not including wages, flying etc. The way the station is being run down, infrastructure wise, it's hard to see where all the £7M gets spent! Ever since the decision to close in 2003 it's been one of the arguments in favour, that's it's too costly to restore the buildings because they've been allowed to deteriorate - perhaps they should've spent a little cash to keep them in the order in the first place although a cynic might say that was always the paln, to run the station down to justify its closure.
