The Commanding Officer of the legendary 809 Naval Air Squadron, resurrected as the second frontline F-35B fighter jet squadron at RAF Marham, has told Forces News about his excitement as he always dreamt of flying the combat aircraft.

The rebirth of the unit comes 82 years after the squadron was first stood up in 1941, since when it has operated the likes of the Fulmar, Sea Venom, Harrier and Buccaneer.

809 NAS becomes the first Royal Navy unit to fly the new stealth aircraft, operating alongside 617 Squadron, The Dambusters.
