A video of the incident that took place on November 17 was shared online. A British F-35B Lightening II fighter jet from the Royal Navy flagship aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the footage, F-35B fighter crashed immediately after takeoff during a scheduled flight. The fighter jet pilot ejected, as it was reported by the UK’s Ministry of Defense.
The incident took place as HMS Queen Elizabeth was its way back from its maiden operational deployment, which was in the Far East. The flagship was carrying eight British F-35B fighter jets, along with ten American F-35s.
Loss of power.
Thats what happens with no catapult.
Tut tut. Another $100 millions down the drain. Sorry, down the Med.
10 bucks to the Americants that Jens “Jizz Hole” Holm or his side-kick lover, Chrissy G was flying that plane!!!
Mmmmmm, is the reality that the Royal Navy is in fact testing a long range and nuclear armed winged drone with air and underwater capabilities?
The superweapon! Hope the pilot’s neck is alright!
Who the hell was trying to fly that ultra-expensive, hyped flop – John McCain’s ghost? No problem, just give that kid another toy.
Bottom Gun.
