Press release:

BWoS are pleased to announce that the COIN version of the BD-5 is to be bought by the RAF. Whole life cost is estimated at £5,000 per hour, based on 35 hours per year, and 25% airframe availability. The Defence Secretary, Sir Rupert Plumpup t'Pilloes said it was an extremely tightly negotiated contract that offered superb value for money for the MoD.

Note to Editors:

The civilian version of the BD-5 costs £10.35 in Argos. The kit has small parts and is not recommended for children under three years of age, as they may swallow the parts, or even the entire airframe.
