RAF yet again training FAA

RAF are training no one. It's a joint arrangement. You forgot to copy and paste the important part:

"Having learned the art of flying fast jets in the UK – earning their wings on Hawk trainers at RAF Valley – all pilots selected for the F-35 programme cross the Atlantic and learn to master the new fifth-generation fighter at the US Marine Corps’ base at Beaufort in South Carolina.

Training on the multi-million pound jets will remain Stateside, but the UK’s front-line F-35 squadrons – firstly 617 Sqn RAF, later 809 NAS – will operate from Marham, each with mixed RN/RAF air and ground crew."

Where does it say the RAF are training anyone?

Brilliant, Rupert, absolutely brilliant. Are you sure you are not providing with the threats instead of dealing with them?
