TEN US MARINE Corps F-35B Lightning Us from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 (VMFA-211) 'Wake Island Avengers' arrived in the UK at RAF Marham, Norfolk, on the evening of September 4 for a long-term detachment. The fighters had departed from their base at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, on August 31, routing initially to MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. Adverse weather conditions meant their planned arrival at RAF Marham on September 3 was delayed by 24 hours. During their stay, the F-35BS will initially train with the RAF's 617 Squadron, which also flies the F-35 variant and is based at Marham. They will qualify to operate from the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R 08), on which they will take part in Exercise Joint Warrior. Next year, they will deploy with the carrier as part of Carrier Strike Group 21 (CSG21) to the Far East. VMFA-211 pilots will conduct synthetic training in the purpose-built simulators at Marham to familiarise themselves with the local airspace and procedures before they conduct training sorties alongside 617 Squadron. They will also participate in Exercise Point Blank with their US Air Force colleagues from RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, along with other NATO partners.
