Re: F-35B Lightning II (RN & RAF)

Not the most exciting news, but significant; RAF Atlas (A400M) transporters have started bringing F-35 equipment to the UK in preparation for 617's arrival this year. It's getting closer... :D

I get the feeling this is a Royal Navy only affair, but I'd love to see both Chinook and Apache at least fly over.
