British Navy's F-35 still stuck in Kerala, CISF posts man to guard it
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The British Royal Navy F-35 fighter jet that made an emergency landing Saturday night remains stranded at Thiruvananthapuram airport. A snag in the hydraulic system of the aircraft is delaying its departure.
The fighter jet is from the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, sailing around 100 nautical miles off the Kerala coast. Technicians arrived by a British Navy MJS-101 helicopter from the aircraft carrier the same night.
"As he was the only personnel with the aircraft, he wanted to stay within sight of it. He was assigned a seat at the apron control, positioned in a way that allowed him to keep watch on the aircraft until other personnel landed in a helicopter from the aircraft carrier," an official said.
Airport officials arranged food and accommodation for them. CISF has posted an armed guard near the plane.
