In the blog regarding this problem( ukarmedforcescommentary, of which the original link seems to have disappeared) the author writes that the costs of mitigating BAE's cockup should not come out of the defence budget. Well, good luck with that one UK taxpayers.
We know, of course, that when Nimrod was cancelled that the resulting redundancy and other cancellation costs were paid, not by BAE, but the UK taxpayer.
You can be fairly sure that the Luftwaffe will pass the costs of this one back to the manufacturers, question is, will the UK taxpayer have to carry the cost of fixing the German aircraft too?
