Summary edit

Description
English: Pictured is the first RAF F-35B (Lightning II) aircraft to arrive on British soil.

With the British aircraft are 2 USAF F-35B’s and two RAF Typhoons.

This 5th Generation STOVL Multi-Role supersonic stealth aircraft will provide the UK with a hugely capable and flexible weapons and sensor platform for decades to come.

Designed to operate from established land bases, austere strips and the new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, the Lightning will join the Typhoon FGR4 in providing the Combat Air component of UK defence from 2018.
