Re: British Aircraft costs
The best source is most likely the Ministry of Aircraft Production "Price Books", held by the RAF Museum (there may also be a set at Kew as part of AVIA 2 but I have not checked).
The labo(u)r and subcontract cost of a Mossie was 6,000 pounds in 1941 and 4,200 pounds in 1945. Sebastian Ritchie, "A New Audit of War: The Productivity of Britain's Wartime Aircraft Industry Reconsidered", War & Society, v. 12 no. 1 (May 1994), pp. 125-147, p. 131.
