This is the second of three F-35B versions of the Joint Strike Fighter that then UK has bought to date. A further buy should be approved later this year. British pilots will conduct trials of the shipboard rolling vertical landing (SRVL) technique to enable higher landing weights. (Photo: Lockheed Martin)
