Interesting article, thanks for posting.
Its a shame to see it move but maybe the positive side is it will mean a mass Land Rover Defender sell off! Start saving your pennies :shock:

Re: BATUS closing?
They stepped back from closing, mainly as they don't want to pay the cleanup costs, so they are likley to withdraw the tanks and move them to the Middle East, so for the next few years you may see just a caretaker crew.
