5th Generation F-35Bs from both 617 Sqn & @USMC are flown from the deck of @HMSQNLZ on #CSG21. Here is a short video of some of our deck operations. Yet another example of the ground breaking interoperability & interchangeability this deployment is delivering. @SenNatRepQNLZ
Today, on the anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we take a moment to remember those who successfully defended our skies 81 years ago.
