In our travels through England it was important to see the city of Bristol. It was a city my husband was almost transferred to. He worked with the UK on the F-35 Lighting II project and traveled here monthly.
History
Defence Minister Stuart Andrew said:
As we build up to the iconic first F-35 take-offs from our brand-new aircraft carrier, it is timely to open this Bristol site which is making it all possible. The incredibly powerful systems made at this high-tech facility mean our jets will be able to operate from British sovereign territory anywhere across the world’s seas to fight any adversaries which threaten us. The F-35 programme is the biggest in the history of defence, and is supporting a hundred jobs here at LiftWorks – as well as thousands more right across the country.
