At close to a projected £1/3Bn / $1/2Bn per frame it'd better be pretty *&%^$£? special. That's a whole p*sspot full of transport a/c and helos (at American, not BAe, prices) that could be bought off the shelf. Oh, and I have little faith in projected capabilities after observing defence matters from the outside and inside over the last 20+ years.
Perhaps the only blinkers are those worn by those who unquestioningly toe the company line.
