"It is an amazing aircraft."

The RAF has 55 Eurofighters with a further 89 due to be delivered in phase two and another 88 in phase three, bringing the total number of aircraft to 232.

The Eurofighter programme, which has cost the British taxpayer an estimated £18bn, has been criticised over spiralling costs and problems with its development. "

Quite amazing - the taxpayer has already stumped up £18bn and, even if he had the 55 aircraft stated, has paid over £327 million per aircraft.
