EE Lightning in-service losses

Just curious. Does anyone happen to know the record of in-service losses for the EE Lightning in RAF and foreign service?

i.e. What percentage of aircraft were lost, against those put into service.

What made me think about this is the common referral to the F-104 Starfighter as "The Widowmaker". Was the proportion of Lightnings lost better or worse than the F-104, or did the Lightning have a good stab at claiming that title for itself?
