Thanks for the info chaps, managed to get 9 out of the 10 as couldn't see 03 from any angle.

03 is in bay 1, it is the hardest to see but is the first F-35 that comes into view as you walk down the road but there is a very small window to see it.
The tie up between bay numbers and each airframe is as follows :-
Bay 1 - CF 03
Bay 2 - CF 09
Bay 3 - CF 02
Bay 4 - CF 25
Bay 5 - CF 00
Bay 6 - CF 08
Bay 7 - CF 06
Bay 8 - CF 04
Bay 9 - CF 07
Bay 10 - CF 01

This was the situation as of 14:00 Saturday and obviously may change. ZM151 and ZM152 were parked in the open separate from the shelters.
Hope this helps.

If any kind soul went to Marham today did they get the serials of the three RAF F-35'S parked in the Eastern most shelters. Many thanks in advance Regards a321

HMS QE sailing has been delayed due to Coronavirus being found in some crew members according to UK Defence Journal, which presumably means that the USMC F35's will be flying from Marham for longer than planned!

a321 The 3 RAF F35’s read were 006/008/016 @ 15:30 serials being ZM140/142/150 respectively. They were joined by 015/ZM149 that was towed in around 16:30. Cheers John

One of the USMC F35s appeared to be missing yesterday from the right hand shelter, believed to be either CF02 or CF25, can anyone confirm this please? MTIA.

I read off CF25 when i was there around lunchtime. Thanks john for the info on the RAF F-35's

[SeniorD]

Many thanks to the members who inputted info on the F-35's .I went down Sunday knowing that I could see them all, where they were located and where I could see them from.
I wish all other airfields were covered as well with that kind of info when unusual a/c arrive .
300 miles well spent and very productive
Thanks again

Rumor at Lakenheath today was the the F35s are due to embark on QEII on 21st. Compliment is expected to be 15 F35s (10 USMC + 5 RAF).

Hi everyone

Just walked the road down from the top of the hill... 4 X F35s visable in first sheds...

07...09...02...25

Second shed as 5 X F35s...

00...03...04...06...08

Last shed as 3 X RAF F35s in all with the lightning g flash on the fin... not able to read these off need a bit more strength on the pole... so any help with tie ups would be very much appreciated.

No sign of the commanders jet with the red flash... as this been moved?.

Word of warning... we arrived at 06.30am to read them off as the road would be a little quieter... by 07.00am the road had become very heavy with fast moving traffic... Please exercise extreme caution and have your wits about you if you go for them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,proabably one of the worse bases for parking while spotting.
It’s horrible on them roads round there,really want to watch them Marine F-35’s though.
Is there anywhere you can leave your car upto a mile away say and walk to the approach end?

Slightly of F35 topic but can anyone identify the Tornado seen from the 24 approach end yesterday near the Tower? Is it assigned to the fire department for training use? bye the way, thanks to all for the pointers to help see the F35s, GREATLY APPRECIATED. Mike

First time I visited Marham was on a 52-seater coach on a CAS trip in August 1986 - We parked up at the 24 end in the late afternoon and watched the "new" 27 and 617 sqn Tornadoes flying and were then surprised as a detachment of 6 "SP" F-4E's and G's arrived for a squadron exchange. Looking at the roads round there I am baffled how we managed to park a coach on any of them!
