Such was Resource Accounting and Budgeting ... use your spares or get rid of them, turn them into cash or pay the Treasury 6%.........
.............six months later ..... buy 'em back with at least 100% mark up ....
............. How many ac sitting around being robbed for want of spares?

This may not be quite what you think. There was, possibly still is, a company based at Hixon airfield who were spares suppliers. I went there a couple of times about 5 years ago now and was shown a considerable amount of Tornado spares....plus at the time 3 Wessex ( all airworthy, but not one with any blanks or covers on 
) and several other types spares and GE equipment.
To judge from the name of the site above, it's highly possible the company has gone bump and hence into liquidation, thus the auction.
One question I posed re the Tornado spares was the relevant mod. state...never did get a reply as I recall. Strangely.

Maybe, with the corect mix of GR4 and F-3 spares we could buy the lot and make a Heath Robinson FGR5 with the F-3 Radar, Fuselage and fuel tanks mated to the GR4 FLIR/ALARM/EPW/Storm shadow capability.........sell it to MOD as a poor man's F-15E Gapfiller to de-risk waiting for Dave and A-G capable Typhoon!
I noticed amongst them several INUs but if they are all redundant items why would anyone want to buy them?
Then again, they wouldn't put them up for sale if no one was going to buy them.
