File:Carrier Sea Training MOD 45166691.jpg

Pilots, engineers, cyberspace and mission support staff from 617 Squadron, the UK’s operational strike squadron, embarked the carrier during a quick stop in Portsmouth for supplies before the aircraft themselves landed on board.

The event marked the first time 617 Squadron – famously known as the Dambusters –fully joined HMS Queen Elizabeth as the UK prepared to deploy the next generation squadron of fighter aircraft to operate from the sea.

The F-35 jets that landed on board will be the same aircraft that will sail in 2021 with the ship for her maiden Global Carrier Strike Group 21 deployment.
