Navy News:

"Here they come... the first four British F-35Bs are homeward bound from the USA, ready to make their debut at RAF Marham later today.

Two RAF and two RN pilots are in the cockpits of the fifth-generation stealth jets for the 6,000-mile-plus flight from the USMC air station at Beaufort to Norfolk.

Several RAF tankers have been airborne to refuel the Lightning IIs on their transatlantic passage, which air and ground crews on both sides of the ocean have been preparing for over several months.

More than £500m has been spent upgrading Marham to accommodate the stealth fighters... when they're not operating from the decks of HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales."
