Multi-million pound revamp for RAF Marham


The Ministry of Defence is planning millions of pounds of upgrades to RAF Marham in Norfolk, to support the operating of the next generation of fighter aircraft.

The proposals, which are still in the early planning stages, will see an estimated £7.5m injected into the creation of new concrete vertical landing pads to support the operation of the RAFs brand new Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, due to enter service in the coming years.

Able to land and take-off vertically, the new F-35 aircraft are currently under testing with manufacturer Lockheed Martin in the United States.
