Hey, it seems the UK has some spare equipment laying around and they need to unload some of it. Who wants military gear for bargain rates? Only used...a little bit. 
Sweet! I always wanted one or two of those to park outside the Bunny Bunker.
Hmmm... That is a tough one.. Perhaps we just buy everyone first aid kits and tell them to gut it out. Thats a bit expensive for an ambulance. (Sorry in advance, wounded people! Money is tight!)

Okay. I WANT ONE! That last item? Make it TWO (although I think they only have one available). For 90,000 pounds? I'm sure that could be made back in bundles if you mounted that all inside an 18 wheeler trailer and signed onto a big carnival for a self contained attraction! I'd sure pay some for time in a fully equipped and generally functional Harrier Jump Jet simulator.
Of course, I sure hope there isn't another war or anything. They might come to regret selling some of that gear. Short sighted? Time will tell I suppose......
Guide price: £39,995 - Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicle. MoD Sales is offering a 195hp diesel-powered version of this light tank, although its 30mm cannon has been removed and replaced with a dummy barrel, meaning it won't be much use if you want to sort out disputes over parking spaces. However, in the event of a chemical or biological attack its forced air system means you can lock it down and remain safe.

Guide price £55,000 - Also available from Witham, a CVRT (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance Tracked) Samaritan battlefield ambulance that's as new after a thorough reconditioning. With a crew of two and capable of carrying three stretchers or eight walking wounded and a medic, the Samaritan can hit 50mph on roads and has a range of about 450 miles.

Price: £90,000 - Harrier cockpit and simulator. When the MoD decided it no longer had use for the famous Harrier jump jets in 2010, it wasn't just the aircraft themselves that went, a whole host of ancilliary equipment such as this training aid also became redundant.
