Photographer not known. XP737 came to grief when, on 17 August 1979, the port landing-gear leg failed to extend when the aircraft was inbound to RAF Valley for the station's annual open day on 18 August. The pilot ejected over the sea and was quickly picked up by the local SAR helicopter, but the Lightning was consigned to the depths of the Irish Sea.
