Hi Guys,
Not wishing to spoil the hunt with an Open House as I've been tied up with the medics for a few days and so unavailable, off again today but I have found dooks challenge by putting "military twin-jet to sell at below $20M per copy" into Google, it returns 73,000 hits but right at the top of the first page is a BBC article worth looking at
If the BBC is not accessible in some places, then further down the first page is an article by NextBigFuture
Happy hunting and try not to get bitten!! 👍

OK, back from the Quack!!
Seeing as this one's still hanging, I'd better toss my hat in the ring and see if I was barking up the wrong tree
I reckon it's the Textron Scorpion ?

Yes a twin-jet
Born lived and died in the noughties, but later resuscitated and re-launched with a new designation!
Pioneer of a new class of business jets.
Not the Williams machine, but there was a connection

Like you said - good old Mr.G.
Just looked up the Williams and:
"Williams had not intended to produce the aircraft, but it attracted a lot of attention, and Eclipse Aviation was founded in 1998 to further develop and produce the aircraft. The airframe was significantly redesigned as an all-metal structure sporting a T-tail and the name Eclipse 500".

Interesting that the bang seat handle cover says REAR.
I can also see that the image is on Airliners.net.
So is this an expired two-seater with the rear bang seat cover saying FRONT ?

It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
It’s time to buzz the tower.
I would probably have to loose a leg and an arm before I would be able to fit in.
