indeed. This deal was done some time ago. Smith was only pretending to hedge. Cost for #5 is simply the aircraft this time....

* Also RAN has been allocated delivery slots for MH-60R. The changeover from S70B's will be like introducing the Super Bugs. The aircraft need a minimal conversion, basic GSE in place already, Sim gets upgraded and then replaced, maintainers do a differences course. Fits on all 'boats' too without any mods.
