First 4 due to arrive at Marham on 5th June is the rumour.

Be nice if they could make it to RIAT.

They will be U/S by then. No parts available.

Haven't they got a shiny full size plastic model they can wheel out yet?

Well, I've been invited to the Families Day at the end of July, so I might be in for a good day. RAF 100, Tornado 40, F-35 introduction.....

They had one at Marham Families Day a couple of years ago.

For anyone planning on popping down on the 5th to see them, from what I hear, it will be a waste of time, as the whole area is locked down, not sure how long for, but certainly at the moment it is.

Marham is pretty porous for viewing points though?

It is if you have family members on security patrol

[FunkyNige]

Some local farmers are letting people park on their land to view them coming in, guess the rumoured date of today wasn't accurate!

Like just about everything with this financial white elephant, there's far more spin and wishful thinking than actual reality...!

They are probably still trying to get 4 of them serviceable enough to fly over.......

Meant to be doing a fly-by of Yeovilton on the route the Marham
