Question TriStars sold?

Any new leads as to which 'US Company' has allegedly bought the RAF's TriStars?

It isn't Omega, I gather.

But with no-one still having a civil Type Rating for the L-1011, what use would they be? Aerial firefighters, perhaps, in the same way that the 2 x DC-10s of '10 Tanker Air Carrier' are used? Evergreen International Airlines used to have a 'Supertanker' firefighter,converted from a Boeing 747-100, but they ceased operations 3 months ago...???
