BRITAIN'S NEW AIR POWER FOCUS

摘要

The arrival of the first F-35Bs for No 617 Squadron 'Dambusters' in June was the first step in the plan to establish an impressive new expeditionary air power capability for the UK. WHEN WG CDR John 'Butch' Butcher touched down at RAF Marham on June 6 in the first of four F-35Bs for No 617 Squadron 'Dambusters', it kick-started a long and carefully planned process to establish a new British carrier air power capability. It's a capability that doesn't come cheap, so every effort is being made to ensure that the full range of potential is realized and exploited.
