The indicative cost to train a Royal Air Force pilot up to transfer to an Operational Conversion Unit is about £3.1 million for Fast Jet, £0.6 million for Multi-Engine and £0.8 million for Rotary Wing aircraft. These costs are for financial year 2007-08 and cover flying training and related activities,

Those figures were bandied around while I was working on the UKMFTS project.

What wasn't taken into account is the costs of the students that get chopped at a point during their training pipeline taking the overall cost per pilot up by a substantial amount.
