June 6, 2018 - The first UK's F-35 Lightning aircraft are due to arrive at their new home at RAF Marham today. The game-changing aircraft, which will be operated by both the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, will be based there. The aircraft will then be deployed from RAF Marham to deployed operating bases by the end of the year. In due course they will also deploy to the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.
This morning, four Lightning jets of 617 Squadron departed MCAS Beaufort SC and they are currently refuelling off the coast of Canada on their way to the UK and their new home of RAF Marham.
Other work includes a high voltage power upgrade, refurbishment of 12 Hardened Aircraft Shelters and a small gym and canteen as well as a hangar, offices and technical facilities for 207 Squadron.
