British F35 jet CRASHES in the Mediterranean - £100m jet

Isn't the £100m figure just the price of the basic aeroplane? I read the actual figure's getting on twice that (about £190m) once you include the optional extras? Like the engines.

Sounds like a BMW product. That's £100 million sir, oh you want wings on the plane as, that'll be extra I'm afraid.
 
Price goes up when you factor in the support for the project (spares, maintenance, licences, government greasing palms of their friends in industry etc)
The MOD are absolute world champions at paying over the odds and spuffing money on unnecessary stuff.
