E.E. Lightning question

Other than Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Did any other potential export customers show interest in the Lightning?

I presume BAe had a customer in mind when it accepted the RSAF F.53s as trade in?

I've heard they also had hopes of selling them to Nigeria, but whether the Nigerians were ever interested I don't know.
