Mr. Ernie Ross
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the cost of building a Tornado multi-role combat aircraft.
Mr. Pattie
The unit production cost of the GR1 aircraft is estimated to be £9 million, and of the F2—air defence variant—£11 million, both at September 1978 economic conditions. In accordance with normal practice these costs include the amortised value of the tooling and other production investment required to build these aircraft.
