Marham Ascot 9711 Flight 16-7-19
Six more British F-35B arrive at Marham on runway 06 during the early evening
Except for the brand new ZM152 they all have a lightning strike on the tail and the last three of the serial on the nose.
I have only posted the taxi back shots along the northern taxiway (Alpha) in landing order [9711,2,5,6,3,4]

So is that Lightning Flash the 617 Sqn markings for the F35?
They can call it what they want
BUT ITS NOT A PROPER LIGHTNING

Thanks for the comments
I believe the F-35B are pooled or jointly owned by the Navy and the RAF so they are likely to be generic markings to all British F-35B
On aircraft carriers aircraft are usually clearly marked and easily identified by codes etc

Great post Mike, as fresh as it gets. The Lightning Flash is great and the last three on the nose certainly a bonus to identify pics taken....and I assume for the 'linies' to quickly identify frames when they are operational.
Thanks for posting

Very nice shots, and at least the Lightning flash and codes add a bit of variety, lets see how long it lasts for.
Cheers.

Great effort there, some great shots. I was there that evening and the light was quite challenging.
Re: Marham Ascot 9711 Flight 16-7-19
Some brilliant shots there mate.
Re: Marham Ascot 9711 Flight 16-7-19
Blasphemy to some, but I have to say I think they look tremendously smart with the lightning flash and codes.
It's not quite the squadron markings that we all hope for, but it's something. If they can do this, then it bodes well for further markings in the future, even if they aren't as colourful as desired

As above, they are not squadron markings at all but for the Lightning Force.
