A state-of-the-art Royal Navy stealth fighter worth £80m has been stranded at an airport in southern India for more than 10 days after it was forced to make an emergency landing.
The F-35B Lightning jet encountered bad weather while flying about 100 nautical miles off the coast of Kerala in southern India on 14 June and was unable to return to its aircraft carrier, instead asking for permission to land at Thiruvananthapuram international airport.
