I will show you mine if you show me yours......

Get me the RAF statistics for pilot error or negligence (outside wartime to make it fair on you) for the last 90 yrs, plus approx cost per airframe and I will get the figures for the same period for warships lost or damaged. I will even assume that all warship accidents are human error rather than mechnical failure.
I will lay a £50 wager to charity of your choice that the RAF has cost more through avoidable accidents.

I would even make a gentlemans wager that the FAA has cost more than the surface fleet.

Care to take the wager?
