F-35s from 617 Squadron have left the UK to deploy overseas for the very first time. Six of the fighter jets have left RAF Marham, bound for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. The aircraft will take part in Exercise LIGHTNING DAWN, where the crew's ability to work in different environments will be tested, as well as stepping up preparations for its first operational carrier deployment later this year.
