Your source appears to be inaccurate in regards to the F-35. One F-35 took part in the RAF 100 rehearsal. Since then

One F-35 (Call sign Marham 81) was active over UK on 3rd July
One F-35 (Call sign Marham 83) was active over UK on 3rd July

One F-35 (Call sign Marham 99 was doing approaches to Yeovilton on 5th July
One F-35 (Call sign Marham 88) was noted doing approaches to Coningsby on 5th July
