Last year the Disposal Services Authority secured £84million from sales of unwanted equipment. The watches are on auction beside military equipment, including Land Rovers, motorbikes and even SAS combat jackets。
Also for sale is a £6,000 fridge advertised for £920; ships’ mattresses; a portable dentist’s chair and even a 100ft-wide girder bridge。
The website also offers dump trucks, aircraft loading equipment, office furniture, tools and even a flight simulator for training Lynx helicopter pilots。
The largest item is the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which originally cost £200million. It is being sold in an eBay-style auction, with the latest top offer a mere £3.5million。
Conservative MP Patrick Mercer, a former infantry commander, said: “The one thing of which you can be certain is that once-precious defence equipment is sold it will be needed again within the week. These goods have cost us millions and now they are being sold for peanuts. That cannot be right。”
