British F-35 conversion unit to stand up at RAF Marham in 2019

Britain will cease pilot conversion training for its F-35 fleet in the United States by 2019 and stand up a unit at Royal Air Force’s Marham base to do the conversions locally.

The unit will have five F-35Bs, according to parliamentary under secretary of state Lord Astor of Hever.
