BAE Systems wins 118 mln stg contract for UK F-35 facilities

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, April 7 (Reuters) - British defence company BAE Systems said it won a 118 million pound ($166 million) contract to build engineering and training facilities for Britain's fleet of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.

BAE said that it was awarded the contract by Lockheed Martin (Swiss: LMT.SW - news) , the primary contractor on the F-35 project, and it would build the facilities at RAF Marham in Norfolk, eastern England.

Britain's first F-35 jet is due to arrive in 2018.

BAE also works on the F-35 project, building the aircraft's rear fuselage. ($1 = 0.7106 pounds) (Reporting by Sarah Young, Editing by Paul Sandle)
