6 RAF Lockheed Martin F-35B “Lightnin”g aircraft from 617 Sqn left RAF Marham to spend six weeks at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus as part of Exercise Lightning Dawn, the first overseas deployment for the Royal Air Force fighters.
Crew from the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy will take part in routine training and gain experience in maintaining and flying the F-35 in an unfamiliar environment.
They are “escorted” by an Airbus KC.2 (ZZ336) departed from RAF Brize Norton.
