Wandering around Fleetlands some years back (when the Navy ran it) and got briefed on the cost of a Lynx post crash rebuild. Not sure of how many millions it was exactly, but it was at least 2-3 times the going rate for a brand new one. RNAY gadgie explained that while there was no money in the Procurement bucket for a new one, there was more than enough in the R&O bucket to spend fixing one at 3 times the cost. Your tax dollars at work...
