What is the advantage of putting the F-35Bs Yeovilton rather than co-locate with the RAF?
Closer to the QE class home port, at the centre of naval aviation and the intangible asset of being located in Somerset rather than the wilds of Norfolk?
Assuming that F-35A is RAF operated and F-35B is RN operated also reduces the likelihood of -A spares and -B spares being mixed up.
Light blue personnel should only be seen as a start-up loan until the FAA can recover itself to 100% RN manning.
