Must be on the limit for the D3, the wings had to be strapped on the trailer aswell.

Narpy and I will soon get to see full sized F35 Lightning II and original BAC Lightning as gate guardians at BAe on the A59.

Heres the original (ex Saudi) that was taken away last year.

I thought I had read something about the next 3 months or so. I have been to Fort Worth 4 or 5 times and still not seen an F35 fly but I have been in the mile long assembly hall seeing the jets being built. Fairly impressive.

The Canberra went to Millom air museum but I think the museum folded....

There are 3 F35's coming to the UK...an RAF STOVL plus 2 US Marine corps jets. One of our F35 test pilits was on the QEC carrier the other week ...rumours of a plan to land an F35 on the carrier during Queens naming ceremony.....
