ZM153 rolled off the runway and has its nose wheel stuck in the mud.
MoD says the pilot is fine and investigation is underway.

Questiosn about Lot15 (fy21). It seems the total F-35s to be produced in lot15 are 145 F-35s divided in:
113x F-35A/I, 7x F-35B and 25x F-35C

This is what I have so far
USAF 49x F-35A (AF-382 - AF-430)
AMI 7x F-35A (AL-23 - AL-29)
IDF/AF 6x F-35I (AS40-AS45)
RNLAF 6x F-35A (AN-35 - AN-40)
ROKAF 12x F-35A (AW-41 - AW-52)
Total: 80 F-35A/I

USMC 3x F-35B (BF-153 - BF-155)
ANI 2x F-35B (BL-07 - BL-08)
RAF/RN 2x F-35B (BK-36 - BK-37)
Total 7x F-35B

USMC 10x F-35C (CF-75 - CF-99)
USN 15x F-35C(CF-75 - CF-99)
Total 25x F-35C

Questions is, who will be the operator of the remaining 33 F-35A/Is (Denmark?? Norway??, Japan??+??)

This is not entirely correct I think.
Dutch are only 3 to my knowledge. The remaining of the initial order for 37. Delivery of the next batch from Lot 16 I think. The 12 for RoKAF are from Lot 17 onwards I thought. In Lot 15 however are 6 for Norway, the remaining 9 for Australia (to complement their initial order of 72), a total of 8 for Denmark and the first 4 for Belgium with also 6 for Japan. But this does not go up to 113 in total. B's and C's seem correct. Although still no sign yet of the first Japanes B's?
