MoD have run a couple of sealed tender sales for "lots" of OM (and other)
equipment. They are not interested in one-off retail sales, but
semi-wholesale. But those lots of course have to be sold on, retail. If
you are interested in a new 4Ti Black with full guarantee ... GBP1000 should
see you right, I believe there are a couple left not far from here. Still
interested?

Very definitely where? My Om4 suffered an abrupt encounter with a concrete
floor and I need a replacement.
I'd seen the persiscope version on eb*y but wasn't too convinced by that
explanation. There was one in Germany last night that I just missed as well.

Any idea if the MOD are still selling the OM 4Ti and if so where from?
Sounds very interesting.........!
All the best,
Gareth.
