Double Zero,

Thanks for your support!

I don't know where you got your JSF figures, but while it's an expensive jet, I don't think anyone's predicting £200m + yet......

The Norwegian offer was based on $58.7 m in FY02 dollars (eg about $80-90 m today), which is hopelessly over optimistic, when the USAF's own February 2008 figures suggest an eventual average unit flyaway price of about $83 m, with a post 2013 low of $79 m. They've slid up into the $90 m range since then for the F-35A, with $122 m for the F-35B.
