All the UK F-35 will be built in the USA at Fort Worth.

Aren't different parts built globally. I don't remember where I saw this, but I certainly recall that
'About 15 per cent of the F-35 is made by BAE Systems. Britain’s biggest defence company makes the fighter’s rear fuselage at its site in Samlesbury, Lancashire.'


I was under the impression that that will be the case for every F-35 built, though I may be wrong.
