A summary of F-35 Lightning costs will appear in the annual Defence Equipment Plan 2018, which is due to be published in September 2018. Once the UK fleet is fully established in the UK, operating costs will be incorporated into centralised budgets and set out in the Ministry of Defence's Annual Report and Accounts.
