Mail: "First Of RAF’s £9 Billion Stealth Fighter Fleet To Land On HMS Queen Elizabeth During Trump Visit In July"

[soleil]

"Britain will put on a display of military might when Donald Trump visits next month – with a flypast of its American-made fighter planes.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is drawing up plans for the US President to watch the first of the RAF’s £9 billion stealth fighter fleet land on new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.

But because the F-35 Lightning IIs were developed by American firm Lockheed Martin, the Ministry of Defence is considering adding a display by the Red Arrows for a more ‘patriotic’ touch.

[...]

Details of the display for Mr Trump have not been revealed, but it is likely to be at Portsmouth, where HMS Queen Elizabeth is based."

Did this happen?

Some green dope in a microlight type thing did a protest fly past at Turnbury. He was lucky that ScotPlod didn’t shoot him down. That would have made good television.

F35? I don’t know.

For a variety of reasons, it was never on the cards anyway.
