F-35 Aircraft: In-flight Refuelling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what current air-to-air refuelling capability within the Royal Air Force will be used to refuel the new F-35A aircraft.
Answered by Maria Eagle
We have longstanding reciprocal arrangements to use allies Air-to-Air refuelling support when required, just as our Voyagers also support refuelling of other allies' jets. Future national air-to-air refuelling options will be considered as part of the Defence Investment Plan, and in subsequent force development work.
