The last I heard in fairly knowledgeable circles was that they were going to use a disc cutter and/or other power tools to scrap the airframes that were deemed B.E.R. This would then void the embarrassment of them re-appearing in a few months in a civvy club in good order !
And just what are they intending to do with this (large) pile of scrap plastic? As I 've already pointed out they can't stick it in the dustbin and hope the council can deal with it (illegal to dump it in land fill), a fire on the corner of the airfield at Syerston is likely to be noticed and the specalist waste disposal firm who can dispose of it in their fancy incinerator will be laughing all the way to the bank. I suppose they could be offered as museum pieces, but are there enough museums that will want one?
