Which translates into English ( ) as something like "the documentary shown today on Dutch National Television doesn't promise much objectivity". The press release from the MoD seems to back this up: The list given there of people cooperating in the documentary are almost all known as being very pro-JSF.

Watch the Utah sky to see the Air Force's newest fighter jet - two F-35As are coming to our own @HAFB this afternoon!
11:26 - 2 sep. 2015
The pair of jets, tail numbered 5071 and 5072, one has special markings.
The first two Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning IIs assigned to the 388th Fighter Wing were officially delivered to the base today. The two F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing variants, known as AF-77 and AF-78, are the first of 72 F-35As scheduled for delivery to the base.
Up to now, Bureau Numbers of F-35s always had the B-version first and the C-version second. We have seen F-35B 169164 and F-35C 169160 flying now which seems to suggest a reverse numbering. Since the B-models numbers 6 airframes and the C-model numbers 4 airframes in Lot VII, the sequence could be as follows: F-35C ranging from 169160 till 169163 and F-35B ranging from 169164 till 169169. Can anyone confirm this sequence?

Greets,
Not confirmed but very likely if you saw F-35C 169160.
Which markings did it wear?

Talking about FMS serials, does anyone ever read something about FMS of the F-35Bs?
When looking at our database, the 3 UK F-35Bs (LRIP 3) could be 168315 (BK-1) and 168316 (BK-2) and LRIP 4 168716 (BK-3) but this is only speculation.
Anyone a confirmation on this theory?
Cheers,
