The Defence Command Paper confirms our intention to continue the growth of our F-35B Lightning Force, beyond the 48 we have already ordered. We will now undertake a period of detailed analysis to evaluate the scale and timeline for procurement of our second tranche of F-35B Lightning Aircraft, associated infrastructure, equipment and support requirements.
