Well as they are at Brunty, I cannot see why they would be going anywhere else UK wise, if they were to be broken in the UK there is the facility at Brunty to do that.. the company that now owns them is a leasing company amongst other things.. so I wonder if they are US bound.

Talks with a potential buyer for the last six operational aircraft had reached an advanced stage, but stalled over finance and export permissions. Two of these are already at Bruntingthorpe, and any further discussions over the fleet must be made between the US entrepreneur and the scrap merchant directly, says Morgan. “At the moment, they’re all to be scrapped,” he adds.

so one wonders if its all back on again.
