It's always sad to see this happen in the UK, as very often, the aircraft end up being scrapped, due to lack of buyers. However, with this being a museum in a major landmark, and given they advertise the disposal, I have a feeling that, at those prices, many airframes and 'bits' will find new homes.
That Victor nose section would just about fit into my back yard .......
 
I agree Terry, it's sad. There is a museum on a USAF base (can't remember which one) here in the states that I read about IIRC in FlyPast or Aeroplane that due to budget cuts is looking to get rid of a bunch of their outdoor display aircraft. They also admitted, like you said, they will likely be scrapped without takers. One of them being the last of only 3 specially modified C-130's (rockets, lot's of rockets) that were to be used in "credible sport", the follow-up Iran hostage rescue attempt after the failed Desert One/Eagle Claw operation. Sad...
