Since the crash, nothing but dead air regarding what was done with her.

Way too early for any of that. Nothing will go anywhere until the lawsuits & insurance claims are settled. The wreckage from Pan Am's Flight 103 is still being securely stored in the UK & that came down over 30 years ago.

The son of the yard's owner where 103's wreckage was stored, was arrested along with his pals for selling parts from the 747 about 5-10 years ago.
