The secret combat aircraft of the Royal Navy F-35B, stuck at the Airport in Thiruvananthapuram, Kelela from 14 June, will be moved to local repair and repair (MRO) for repairs, Hindustan Times quoted a spokesman for the British High Commission.
Despite several attempts to repair a nozzle £ 85 million, they were unsuccessful. Since the Royal Navy F-35B combat beam has done an emergency landing after the low fuel levels were announced, it was on the asphalt.
On June 14th, bad weather prevented from jetting from returning to the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, which was 100 naval miles from the coast of Kerala. Then he developed the beam F-35B hydraulic failure that prevented it from taking off.
A British High Commission spokesman said the F-35B aircraft is waiting for repairs at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport after the development of an “engineering problem”.
“The United Kingdom has accepted an offer to move the aircraft to repair the maintenance and revision of the facility at the airport. The aircraft will be moved to the hangar as soon as British engineering teams arrive with specialized equipment to ensure minimal disruption of the planned maintenance of other aircraft,” HT quoted.
Will return to service after repair:
After repair, the current will return to operation as soon as repairs and security checks are completed, the spokesman said.
“Ground teams continue to work closely with the Indian authorities to ensure security and security measures. We thank the Indian authorities and the International Airport Thiruvananthapuram for their lasting support,” the spokesman added.
According to the details, the F-35B is part of the Carrier Strike Group accompanying HMS Prince of Wales. On 14 June, the Indian Air Force (IAF) facilitated a safe aircraft landing and later provided replenishment and logistics support.
The aircraft is now parked in a bay for VIP aircraft and is guarded by central industrial security forces (CISF).
