Perhaps Cameron can explain where our Army is going to get the men to fight.Are you all mad?We dont even have an aircraft carrier anymore,our army would be pushed to fill Wembley stadium,we have a few aircraft but the costs are staggering.
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/p ... 50we05.htmi include this from the above report.
Flying cost data comes from Written Answers as up-to-date as January 2011. Typical data includes:
Tornado GR4
£35,000 per hour
Typhoon
£70–90,000 per hour
The data tends to get followed with a paragraph:
“This includes forward and depth servicing, fuel costs, crew costs, training costs and the cost of capital charge and depreciation. The Typhoon cost per flying hour reflects the smaller numbers of aircraft currently in the fleet and their relatively short period in service. This is expected to reduce significantly over the in-service life of the aircraft.”
Other costs for support aircraft have tended to revolve around £30–40,000 per flight hour. In all calculations, low costs have been adopted to avoid over-inflating figures.
The point about the c£35,000 per flight hour is that this is the basis on which the MoD has to account for such activities, that is it has to take account of spare parts, maintenance contracts and the like. It is a very “global” figure, but it is an accurate one.
Another figure has been provided for the cost of a flight hour, based solely on fuel costs. This, for a Tornado GR4 is £5,000.
You pay if you want to,the jihadis will take all volunteers available if your feeling that bad.So there you have it! put up or stop crying about some murderous madmen in the middle east,they dont like us and only seeem happy when killing each other,so let em!
