F-4 Phantoms to UK?

There's a story rolling around concerning the sale of two Luftwaffe F-4Fs to a UK buyer. Very difficult to establish what is nonsense and what is reality but it sounds as if the buyer may be HHA at Scampton and that there might be plans to operate one if not both aircraft under military contract, complete with British markings, etc.

So, the obvious question, does anybody know anything that is more than speculation? Would be quite a treat to see and hear an F-4 back in the UK, but one does have to question the validity of the rumours, what with the CAA's attitude, costs, etc. An interesting story though
