This Hunter's career came to and end on 6 August 1998. A throttle restriction was encountered ten miles out from Boscombe Down. The pilot declared an emergency and returned to Boscombe Down. The aircraft failed to make contact with the runway and both crew ejected when it was 2,000 - 3,000ft along the runway. It crashed onto the airfield and caught fire, the crew being slightly injured.
