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:

Honda are using an airfield near Wroughton, Swindon.

Local paper the Swindon advertiser were all over it given their plans for the shutdown.

There are still thousands of cars at Upper Heyford just not on the runway, that belongs to the sheep!
