So France say they will not be out of pocket on Flogging on two new carriers costing 900 million Euros....
It makes you wonder how redesigning two catapults for ours cost
In the strategic defence and security review (SDSR), the prime minister insisted the carriers would have to be converted to include "cats and traps" to allow a version of the new Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) to be catapulted from the decks and caught by arrestor wires on landing. But the Guardian has been told the cost of the modification has spiralled out of control, to between £1.9 and £2bn.
Someone somewhere is getting shafted..... Oh wait, that's us.
