£100m. That's very roughly £2 per UK citizen. Not sure how I feel about that - I mean did I get my money's worth?
Glad the pilot's ok.
I suppose we need to recover it if only to stop anybody else getting hold of it...

In Hover/SVTOL mode, if the forward shaft driven fan, its vanes or inlet door fails in any way, the pitch down moment from the main aft nozzle is so violent that the pilot is ejected automatically...

Lets hope it's still under warranty!
