F-024 will be the first a/c assigned to 313Sqn
F-024 came in first , so has been delivered earlier than the 023.

What we have so far in the Lot 13 overview.

- USMC, BF-119/BF-134, 169912/169927 (till 169919 already flying), BF-135/BF-138 should be added as well.
- RAF, BK-22/BK-27, ZM156/ZM161, 169928/169933 (all flying)
- ANI, BL-05, (MM7455, 169934 - both numbers TBC)
- USN, CF-60/CF-74, 169939/1699XX (169939 now seen)

This is what we know. This leaves a gap between 169935 and 169938 and question remains what happens after 169948?
Could be (but that's just guessing) that 169935 till 169938 are also the 4 B's added to the lot for the 20 aircraft complement. Time will tell (again).
