Sell off what you can in the way of spares (engine, prop etc) and then if you are stuck with just the airframe why not consider donating it to your aerodrome fire service.

Do you know whether it's going to be staying in the area and whether it will be sole owner or group because I might be looking for cheap shares in something in that area in the New Year?

Or anyone else nearby with stupidly cheap shares?

Looks like you had a relatively easy sale then!

I think you'll find Apaches are a different airfield in Suffolk.

I was chatting to an instructor recently who ferried it to its new home, so one would presume yes.

Take out the engine and prop and other goodies and give the hulk to a local kindergarten

It would rely upon exceptional generosity, but would you consider donating it to a charitable flying organisation, a local UAS or similar not for profit outfit?

Clearly they'd be unlikely to be able to fly it, but they might be able to get some valuable instructional use out of it, a sort of flying clasroom on the ground (for want of a better explanation).
