The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the average monthly flying hours are for each F-35 by airframe since they entered full operational capability.

The metric that is collated is the total airframe hours since delivery for which I refer the hon. Member to the Answer to Question 34922 on 6 March 2025.
