The U.S. Marine Corps on Monday said it would send a pair of Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter jets to two air shows in Britain this summer, a key milestone for the $391 billion weapons program after its thwarted international debut in 2014.
Some U.S. Air Force F-35 jets will also take part in the events, according to sources familiar with the plans. Air Force officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Looks like 4 in total, 2 Marine 2 x USAF......could be more than 4 though as servicability is still an issue I believe and they wont want a rerun of 2 years ago !
