Just a guy who likes to travel and likes to take photos. I’m a huge supporter of the RAF and my local base of RAF Marham and the awesome F-35 Lightning #AvGeek

@HalifaxBank I’ll just change bank.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Just found out my local @HalifaxBank branch is closing in Kings Lynn, that’s gotta mean no branch within 60 to 70 miles now.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@F1 So what about everyone else’s then?

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@fia race control, what a total joke. Half the grid can’t all be speeding it’s gotta be a sensor issue.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@SimonCarGuy I look at that and can't help think of the Audi they used in the movie I-Robot.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@flyingjok Hi John, hope you’re well. Have sent you a quick DM as I have a question for you.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Oh for god sake, just get on with it!!!!

[The Independent @Independent]

Minister refuses to say when long-delayed defence investment plan will be published https://t.co/uBKWnXgS1k

@BlickyIan Remember seeing that there on family holidays as a kid, gotta be there for more than 20 years now.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Sooo can we buy some jets made in the UK for the UK now then? And support our own industries?

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Big news that Ukraine will get new Gripen fighter jets to strengthen their defences.

With over 30% of each jet UK-built, this is set to provide a £500 million boost to the economy and support over 5,000 jobs across the UK.

Hats off to Sweden’s leadership to secure this deal.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

What a joke, that’s basically saying you can now assault an officer and get away with it.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad have been cleared over the alleged assault of a male police officer at Manchester Airport

Two juries failed to reach a verdict and no further trial will take place

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

And that marks the final of the first 48 to arrive with the RAF.

[Royal Air Force @RoyalAirForce]

Lightning strikes. ⚡

Two RAF Lightning F-35B jets landed at RAF Marham last week, marking the conclusion of the aircraft’s Initial Procurement Phase.

I can sort of see why the share price dropped like a stone, I mean if you’re gonna make an electric there’s no reason why it can’t look like a badass super at on the outside.

[Tim Oldland @Timoldland]

Well here it is - the Ferrari Luce. Their first EV.

And…. erm. Well. Yes. It looks like that. 😐

Over 1000hp, 2260kg, 122kWh battery and 329 miles range.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Can we have a go? @RoyalAirForce @OC207Sqn @OC617Sqn @LightningFHQ @809NAS

[Lockheed Martin Europe @LMEuropeNews]

It’s not just what the F-35 brings — it’s where and how it brings it. 🇮🇹🛬⚡

@ItalianAirForce F-35Bs conducted highway ops for the first time in Finland, showing how the F-35 delivers 5th Gen capability with unmatched agility.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Noooooo 🤦‍♂️🤬🤬

GEORGE RUSSELL STOPS AND IS OUT! 😱❌

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

Would this not be led by 17 squadron as the test and eval unit?

[F-35 Lightning II @thef35]

First F-35B flight test complete for SPEAR. 🇬🇧⚡

Earlier this year a SPEAR missile from @MBDAGroup successfully completed its first test flight aboard the F-35B, marking a critical step toward sovereign weapon capability for the UK’s F-35 fleet.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@ValkStrategy Anti Tamper? A bit far fetched, Azores are part of Portugal a NATO member and it’s not the first time Lajes has been used as an F-35 tech stop point.

[Ben Murphy @BenMurphyF35]

@prestonstew_ @Rob_Coppinger Wasn’t there an E-3 destroyed too?
