Monday 21-SEP-2020 - F35s to carrier?

Post by jwramsay » Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:02 am

I'm just curious as to whether there have been any F-35 departures to HM Queen Elizabeth today?

Given that the ship is still docked in Portsmouth until mid-afternoon....

Unless they change the NOTAM, which currently finishes at 1700 local, I can't see the F35's going on board today. QE won't be in a position to accept F35's till at least 1800 local and I can't see them taking off for the ship until the ship is ready for them.

Last time HMS QNLZ was around by Great Yarmouth to Cromer before the F-35B set out from Marham but whether that is a future indication only time will tell.

Thanks, glad I didn't hang about down south for them. Had some great days at Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Duxford so pleased now we made the right decision to travel up the road yesterday.

Most probably after JW as the CSG is due to take part. I did read on here that once back at a Marham, they will be taking part in another exercise.

Edit: found it, look here viewtopic.php?f=51&t=193480
