One of the things that makes me question the figures as well is that the parlimentary auditor took into account Britains purchase of the F-35 to formulate their per plane cost, however the Brits were going to originally purchase th F-35B which is the short take off vertical landing model which is far more expensive and also the C which is the naval varient which again is more expensive.

The Canadian airforce is buying the f-35A which is the conventional model and much cheaper then the above 2.
