UK Lightning in 'Beast' mode onboard the future Fleet Flagship - a defining moment on the road to operational Carrier Strike capability. Up to 22,000 lbs of firepower; inert Paveway laser-guided bombs and ASRAAM air-to-air missiles. We wouldn't mess with it either #WESTLANT19pic.twitter.com/SPXw4pvLr2

Essentially they would use internal bays only during the initial action, taking out air defences etc, once the threat environment allows they can use the pylon attached weapons.

Looking forward to the first videos of ski-ramp take-offs of F-35B in "Beast" mode with the weapons on ! Good luck & "Per Ardua Ad Astra" from a veteran of the Phantom + Buccaneer > Tornado > Typhoon eras. Exciting times ahead - "Welcome To The Future" !https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Yg9wjctRw …

Doubtful, as a F-35B in "Beat" mode would then have to DUMP all this unused ordnance before landing. One of the MANY limitation arising from the govt not opting for a catapult launch system for the QEC.
F-35Cs would have been a better acquisition all round.
