They should take it out of the pilots wages.

Doesn't work underwater, I don't know anything about military planes, but I imagine it'll have an acoustic transponder or similar so it can be located relatively easily.

We could have bought 370 of those jets instead of wasting it all on test and trace.

Well the MoD better hope they win the Euro millions on Friday to pay for it

It was a lame joke it's a stealth jet undetectable by radar.
