How do you mean? You mean selling it?

i am surprised the amount of Typhoon stuff that is appearing on the likes of EBay, here you have what is supposed to be an aircraft that is " secret" but you can buy bits of them on eBay.

And in the early 2000's there was no need to use ebay when it came to acquiring Tornado bits n pieces ...all you had to do was pop down to a now defunct outfit at Hixon who would happily sell you as many items as you required !......the fact these items had a "somewhat limited" market, and not forgetting the trivial detail of their mod.state, being neither here nor there. MB's products also featured, not attached to their trolley as you would reasonably expect, but just casually plonked on the floor.

Want a Wessex ?......no problem there either sir, there were four sat sitting waiting for an astute buyer to snap up a bargain.....alas, the poor beasts were less than adorned with those useful things called bungs, covers and blanks and in a semi exposed location, but hey, a quick blow through and dry cycle and bingo !.......sign here please sir.

Strangely, the words "bankrupt " and "ceased trading " have also featured in the organisations resume....
