A British RAF F-35 fighter jet, grounded in southern India for over a month due to technical issues, has resumed flight. The aircraft, which had hydraulic and APU problems, was repaired by a UK engineering team. Its unexpected stay in Kerala sparked numerous humorous social media memes. The jet, after repairs and safety checks, departed Thiruvananthapuram International Airport for an aircraft carrier in Darwin, Australia. The UK expressed gratitude for Indian authorities' support.
