AWESOME F-35 VERTICAL LANDINGS HOVERING IN STRONG WINDS • F-35B RAF MARHAM

Ted is at the home of the Royal Air Forces 5th Gen stealth F-35B Lightning and the home of 207 & 617 Squadron, RAF Marham. It is a very windy day and although standing on the ground in strong winds is bad enough, imagine hovering in the air with 34,000 lbs of metal!
As we see the four F-35s take off, on their return, they request 'Vertical Landing' and break to vertically land, just like the Harrier. This is known as Vertical Landing or 'VL' for short.
The F-35B Lightning combines advanced sensors and mission systems with low observable technology, or ‘stealth’, which enables it to operate undetected in hostile airspace. Its integrated sensors, sensor fusion and data linking provide the pilot with unprecedented situational awareness. The pilot is able to share information gathered by the jet with other platforms using secure data links, and/or use the information to employ weapons or electronic means.
The Lightning’s short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) capability allows it to operate from the new ‘Queen Elizabeth’-class aircraft carriers and the vessels of allied nations, as well as short airstrips.
RAF Marham, home of the F-35 Lightning a 5th Generation, multi-role, stealth fighter. Based here at Marham are 617 'Dambusters' squadron and 207 Squadron, the OCU for both RAF and the Royal Navy.
The Station is also home to a range of engineering support functions from maintenance to frontline support. Over 3600 Service Personnel, civil servants and contractors work at RAF Marham.
617 Squadron is based at RAF Marham. The Squadron adopted its name and badge after the famous Dams Raid in 1943. Previous aircraft flown include the Avro Lancaster, Lincoln and Vulcan; English Electric Canberra; and Panavia Tornado. They are now flying the F-35B Lightning fifth-generation combat aircraft.
In 2014 617 Sqn, disbanded on 28 February, after returning from a final HERRICK deployment on 30 January. Began re-forming in 2016, in preparation to become the UK’s first frontline Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning unit. In 2018, our 617 Squadron Lightnings landed at RAF Marham, the unit’s new home. In 2019 the Lightning Dawn saw 617 Squadron deploy to RAF Akrotiri for Operation SHADER sorties and subsequent training alongside Israeli and Italian F-35s.
And in June 2020 , 617 Squadron embarked operational Lightnings aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time. In September, the unit returned to the ship, alongside visiting US Marine Corps F-35Bs, in preparation for the vessel’s Carrier Strike Group 21 first operational sailing in 2021.

I can almost guarantee very few citizens have video captured an F-35 doing a vertical hoover/landing. Awesome!!

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Harry thanks man

[@DanWalker1967]

Thanks for today's stream and the F35 Marham video. Ohh Yeahhh

[@TedConingsby]

Oiii oiii Daniel thank you so much for the Super 🤙🏼 ooohh yeah

[@daviddarrall9384]

Never realy taken to the F35, but this is amazing! UK.

[@gazza2933]

David. Same here. I am impressed though with that Pratt and Whitney engine. The power! It's the way forward, but we Harrier fans are going to be in mourning for a long time yet. 👍

[@jerroidrixon]

Thanks so much. 4 F35 vertical landings. Awesome sound. Great filming!

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Jerroid thanks again, was nice to see them at Marham Oohh yeah

[@margobaxter8344]

RAF Marham, "Deter" a legendary base & good to see in action. F35s, oh how I love the great debate, 'does one like them, does one not'? However, must say the vertical hovering is something else & great to see it following its predecessor the mighty Harrier. Berets off to our fab pilots, good job well presented 👍❤.

[@TedConingsby]

Oii Oii Margo 🤙🏼 Well, we love the F35. The lift fan in the F-35B is a Rolls-Royce LiftFan, a 50-inch, two-stage counter-rotating fan capable of generating more than 20,000 lbf of thrust, is driven from a conventional gas turbine and produces the forward vertical lift. Oohhh yeah

[@DanWalker1967]

I realise that RAF Marham can be a little quiet due to several mitigating circumstances but its great to see them performing the vertical landings and hovering. Whether you're a fan or not of this aircraft? You cannot fail to be impressed. F35 in any guise is OK by me. F35 and Typhoon my 2 favs. 9:32 Just that sound. Nicely filmed Ted and Nikos. No:- 771

[@TedConingsby]

Oii oiii Dan, we were watching back some of our Marham videos and it is a stunning little area with great scenery. It can be quiet but can be very rewarding

[@jerroidrixon]

Thanks!

Oiii oiii Jerroid thank you so much for the super! That’s very kind of you oooohhh yeah

[@Pesmog]

You can't really mistake them for any other aircraft when they have the 'toilet lid' raised 🙂 I guess this was filmed in early-mid July. The weather looked so much better back then.

[@TedConingsby]

It was indeed July but it was such strong winds that day. The ‘Toilet Lid’ you refer to is the ‘lift fan’, part of the mechanism that goes towards keeping the aircraft to hover

[@gazza2933]

I have worked at Marham. Had a great time! A nice airfield, in beautiful Norfolk. Very much a V bomber layout. Unfortunately not very 'user friendly' for Ted and the team. Excellent video boss! 👍

[@margobaxter8344]

Gazza, thank you ❤️. Would be great to hear your tales of Marham 😜😊. That's where my Tornado came from. Norfolk, where my brother lives. Amazing how it's a small world. 🥰 xx

Nice work Nikos, how about a best of f35b clips of them producing the wonderful howling engine noise. Thx.

Nice seeing those Rolls Royce fans in action. 🙂

Is it not a Pratt and Whitney engine (F135)? 🤔

[@anglonig1]

@@gazza2933 Yes, but the lift fan is made by Rolls Royce.
