I SWIFTS
(a) The cost of each aircraft fully equipped (but without spares) is
£57,000. The cost of 500 would be £28,500,000.
(b) Spare engines for 500 aircraft on the basis of 30% backing of spare
engines would cost 150 x £16,500 £2,475,000.

(c) Spares and spare equipment backing at 15% for a total of 500
aircraft would cost £4,275,000.

(a) The cost of the Venom NF 2 equipped (but without spares) is
£43,500. This figure of £43,500 includes £6,800 for equipment. The cost of 400 would be £17,320,000.
(b) Spare engines on the basis of 30% spares backing for 400 aircraft
would cost 120 x £9,300 = £1,116,000.
(c) Spares and equipment backing at 15% for 400 aircraft would
cost £2,598,000.
METEOR TRAINER
(a) The cost of the Meteor Trainer equipped is £25,500.
(b) The cost of the spare engines would be £3,300 each.
(c) The cost of spares and equipment backing depends on the number
ordered.

(a) The cost of the Vampire Trainer equipped is £30,300.
(b) The cost of spare engines would be £5,200 each.
(c) The cost of spares and equipment depends on the number

GA. 5
(a) As production of the GA. 5 is only just now being put in hand,
figures of cost are necessarily very tentative. It is estimated, however, that on the basis of £13,500 for equipment, the cost of the aircraft equipped but without spares would be between £90,000 and £100,000 each.
