I mean, look at the deal for the MRTT. A needed aircraft, at an insane total cost.

Would that be the one that's £10.5 billion overbudget?

THat's the total tag, actually.

Although, not including battlefield protection mods. I mean, by all accounts the MRTT is a fine aircraft and a good fit for the RAF, but the PFI acquisition method is inflexible, and very costly if things go wrong.

Theres now a "discussion" about who will be paying for the new vehicle. Can the MOD ever procure anything without screwing it up

It's about time.
The company who designed the new vehicle is not too far away from me. I wonder if the need an unemployed draughtsman?
