I would imagine the ex-RAF J-30 fleet being pretty attractive to all sorts of countries.
That and the fact that the Germans and French have bought Js to fill the gaps in the A400s capabilities should be an object lesson to the SoS for Defence whose decision it was to can the ac. Clearly saving a (relatively) small amount of cash trumps a significant loss of capability which is not what the defence review was meant to be about.
