Well, following some surprisingly hefty bids, thought this would require a little bump to see if anyone else wants to make a last bid.. two hours of bidding left..

The EOL would like to inquire as to the possibility of other aircraft. We are looking for "targets" for weapon testing.

OOC: I've no idea how long an NS week is really, I take it as being around a day at most! Anyhow, effectively they're on their way.
As for further sales, sorry but this was the only ex-stock I have to dispose of right now... We axed the aforementioned three squadrons of Blinders to make way for the new LAS-XB1 Blackbear stealth bomber, which is almost bankrupting the Air Force - so there's no way of changing any more squadrons in the near future...
