Royal Navy Lt. Cmdr. Neil Mathieson, the UK’s F-35 Ship Integration Lead, works with U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Douglas W. McCarty, during an F-35B ejection seat test and inspection May 20, 2015. This is part of the first phase of F-35B operational testing, in which 16 UK service personnel are participating. The ship trial will assess the integration of the F-35B while operating across a wide array of flight and deck operations, maintenance operations and logistical supply chain support in an at-sea environment. Mathieson, a mechanical engineer by trade, is currently based in Bristol, England. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Maj. Paul Greenberg)
