1 Lancaster cost £42,000.00 to purchase. (This assumes minimal profits being made by the manufacture.) 1 Lancaster required 5,000 tons of hard aluminium or the equivalent of 11 million sauce pans. [mark comment - something wrong here and below in some spots] 1 Lancaster required the equivalent manufacturing capability required to build 40 basic automobiles of the period. 1 Lancaster absorbed the equivalent man hours as it takes to build one mile (1.61 km’s) of a modern highway (motorway). 1 Lancaster carried the equivalent radio and radar equipment to fabricate one million domestic radios of the period. Each member of a Lancaster crew cost £10,000.00 to train. The average cost for a Lancaster was therefore £70,000 or £80,000 if the crew consisted of 8 crew members. To fuel, bomb, arm and service a single Lancaster required an additional £13,000.00. This also includes an allowance for the cost to train the ground crews.

Therefore, the average cost to the British economy for EACH Lancaster bombing sortie was £100,000.00
