We disagree then. For the lifetime of the plane parts need replacing and not just fuel pumps. It was going to cost a lot of money to have in service and the only one that was airworthy... well wasn't. It highlighted problems.
It's out of date as an airframe. What went into it if it was the same as proposed in the 90s was also out of date in 2011.
Scrap them and lets admit we need to buy something modern. And over the lifetime of their use it will be cheaper.
Even if we take the £4.1bn figure and divide by 9 it was a lot of money. One can fly (but not safe) and maybe 3 others partly built. So the £4.1bn was not even the final figure.
