Parked a/c

Perhaps someone can comment on my following. I have asked on other topics before but without getting a clear reponse. Numbers of civil airliners are parked around regional airports such as Lasham and Southend. In the case of the latter does anyone know what happens in the end to them and who owns them in the interim. Examples are SEN two 3C registered F27 military S & R a/c. HZ123 707 former Saudi Arabian Kings private a/c and also 5N-HHH BAC 1-11 which has been parked on the same space for a number of years, but the tyres remain inflated so someone must attend to it. Assuming these plus the numbers of 727's that parked at both locations have virtually no chance of ever flying and there must a very limited if non existent spares market anyone have any views on why the a/c are not cut up sooner rather than later.
