Summary

Description
English: Pictured, The F-35B Lightning II arrives in the UK and its new home to be, RAF Marham in Norfolk.

The two F-35's pictured are marked up in UK and United States livery alongside an RAF Tornado GR4 from 31 Sqn RAF Marham which will eventually be replaced by the UK’s newest and most exciting front line fighting jet.


The image was taken on an historic day for the UK as the future of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force combat air fleets, the F-35B Lightning II, flew over their prospective ‘homes’; Rosyth and RAF Marham in Norfolk.

The fifth generation F-35B jets are the most advanced aircraft ever built for the UK and will be operated initially by 617 Squadron, Royal Air Force, known as ‘The Dambusters’ and subsequently by 809 Naval Air Squadron, ‘The Immortals’. Combined, they will transform the UK’s ability to project UK influence overseas.
