F35B arrival?

I’ve just seen 2 voyager aircraft and a formation of 4 military aircraft fly over RNAS Yeovilton at high level. I’m betting the new Lightning II aircraft are currently inbound to RAF Marham.

You are correct! The two Voyagers landed at Brize in the last half hour 20.00hrs approx and I'd guess the F-35's same time at Marham.

They'll just be 'Lightning' to the RAF, no 'II' suffix and no 'F-35B' which only makes sense in the US procurement system. Which is a missed opportunity for another storm name but at least better than the C-17 where they didn't even adopt Globemaster as a name.
