Enlightening

Streaming tip vortices in the 'very' damp conditions, the much vaunted and long-awaited Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II caught departing RAF Fairford.

 

In this case it was US Marine Corps Bu.AerNo.168726/VM18 from VMFAT-501 heading off to make her debut at the Farnborough International Airshow.

 

Six F-35's arrived at Fairford for RIAT - one RAF, two USMC and three USAF - all will be heading back to the US to continue the work-up to service introduction.
