What price the JSF then?
No one has picked up the quote from Jock Stirrup in yesterday's torygraph.
"We should not just compare the cost of the project to initial estimates but to benchmarks against similar projects. The JSF, the plane's main US rival, had cost £40.5 billion in design and development. For the Typhoon the . . . bill is about £25 billion"
So if JSF is the Typhoon's main rival why are we buying both?
OK I know one is a bomber and the other is a fighter-bomber but why buy both then? If we do buy both then we need less of the fighter-bombers!
