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.

P.S. Happy New Year everyone!
