UK orders first operational F-35 combat aircraft
Gareth Jennings, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly - 23 November 2014
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed for its first four operational Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft as part of the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP 8) production lot, it was announced on 21 November.
The order marks an initial buy from the MoD's Main Gate 4 acquisition approval process for 14 jets to equip the Royal Air Force's (RAF's) 617 Squadron, which is scheduled to stand-up as the UK's first operational F-35B unit in 2016.
(...)
The second unit - the FAA's 809 'Immortals' Naval Air Squadron - will be created ahead of the commencement of sea trials aboard the future HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier in 2018, with the full operating capability (land and maritime) being declared in 2023.
News of the first order of operational aircraft comes as a UK test team has completed initial aircraft handling trials for the Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) and Paveway IV precision-guided bomb on the F-35B. Trial rounds were recently tested for the first time during a series of flights from the US Navy's test facility at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland..
