Whoever buys these will get 4 very tidy a/c for nothing.
Except that the aircraft are currently considered 'unserviceable' - and the tortuous red tape of EASA will make civil certification of a 16 seat 'military airliner' an expensive nightmare..

Nobody was interested in the RAF's wretched T Mk1s when they came up for disposal, so they were virtually all scrapped. Although the T Mk3 is a much better aircraft (which doesn't actually say much...), will anyone really be interested in them?

How much has this crazy decision so far cost the MoD?
