On July 16, 2019 the Royal Air Force 207 Squadron returned to RAF Marham in the UK. The squadron was embedded since 2013 with VMFAT-501 at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, where Royal Air Force and Royal Navy pilots trained alongside US Marine Corps pilots.

The squadron will now reform officially as Operational Conversion Unit on August 1, 2019 and will train new F-35B pilots on UK soil.

As said by the Squadron Commander, Wg Cdr Scott Williams, the six F-35s departed MCAS Beaufort at 6:00 am local time and were met by two Voyager tankers for the trans-Atlantic flight.
