First flown 16th March 1967 and crashed on 6th October 1972 during a post overhaul test flight from RNAY Sydenham. The aircraft crashed into a warehouse in Belfast, the cause being attributed to a faulty fuel dump valve which was being tested at the time, causing the aircraft to run out of fuel. Both crew ejected and there were no fatalities.
