Upper Heyford is a new car dump
Discussion
This is where unsold new cars are going. I lost count at 16,983 and that was just the silver ones.

So what's it look like now?
very similar.... and has been like that more or less since it closed as an operational base..Shame really, I used to love gliding past Upper Heyford, going round their extended airspace, and watching the F111s zoom underneath
Good fun flying competitions out of Bicester too, and watching their activities while you waited for the startline to open
You can also see the same thing at Chipping Warden, to some extent Bruntingthorpe, and probably most large, 'disused' airfields up and down the country.
There used to be a car dump next to the A1 at Wyboston lakes for years. If you look on GE you can still see the outline of the cars left.
Apparently there were still unregistered Sierras and Granada Scorpios there up until 2001. See below:
