Anyone got a more complete list of where things have ended up than my rather ??-filled list...
OB8 - ? OB9 - to Cloudbass, now OB 19 OB10 - Stripped to rack-ready, ?? OB11 - to Cloudbass OB12 - to Cloudbass OB14 - ? OB15 - ? OB17 - to Timeline, now OB 7 OB18 - possibly to Cloudbass OB20 - to Gravity Media France, now Sirius OBX - to Timeline, now UHD 4 OBY - not yet sold ("One OB truck, OBY, is still to be sold due to a claim by a third party that the administrator disputes") OBZ - to Timeline, now UHD 5 VT1 - ? VT3 - ? VT4 - ? VT6 - to Timeline, now VT 1 VT7- to Cloudbass, now VT 3 VT14 - ? VT15 - ? Pretty sure at least one of the VT trucks went to Cloudbass? Edit - yes, VT7! (Not certain that some of these trucks hadn't left Arena by the time they went under.)

Possibly a stupid question but what are VT trucks for? Surely its all EVS or similar now and even if it was tape it wouldn't need a seperate truck these days?

They sometimes get (or got! ) used for extra space for production staff, data wranglers, off line stuff, webstreaming, (think nest cams on Springwatch etc)

VT6 had two edit suites and a large VT room.

I guess Golf OBs may use VTR trucks too seeing as most of Live golf coverage is recorded
