I assume someone has saved it, otherwise it would have been chopped up.

Not according to this https://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/victor/su...

"It is hoped that some parts may be preserved, particularly the nose section, but as of early December 2020 most of the airframe has been taken away for scrap."

Chatting with guys that worked on Tornado there until 2018, it was a rotting, sad old heap. A money pit for anyone wanting to restore any part of it, and old kebab wrappers stuffed in every orifice by tipsy bachelors wandering back to their barrack blocks.

[It's fixable...]

Looking at the video all the work is being done by uniformed personnel using equipment with military number plates = not much chance of it being collected by a buyer, as in that case the personnel and equipment would be civilian...

Unfortunately looks to have definitely only been fit for the scrapper

Much like the Beverly, you cant save them all. I dont reckon the Vulcan at Waddington will be far behind, given the state of it,
