Apparently, parking fees are £600 per month, which are not sustainable.

There is a hint of some possible hope for the aircraft in this thread from the Key Publishing (Flypast) forum: forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?144314-Douglas-DC6-G-APSA-To-Be-Scrapped-In-February-2018

Just been reading an update on the forum link on Phil's post and maybe things are looking up - fingers crossed

There is also some 'chatter' on the Blackbushe forum (http://blackbusheairport.proboards.com/thread/466/farewell-dear-old-apsa) including posts from a person who seems to be involved in the rescue plan.
