This aircraft was damaged in a mid air collision with XX233 on March 23rd 2010 at Kastelli Air Base on Crete while the Red Arrows were on the annual Springhawk deployment. The two jets were the Synchro Pair and collided during an Opposition Barrel Roll. XX233 crashed onto the airfield and a damaged XX253 diverted to Heraklion with the rest of the team. XX253 was restored for static exhibition and is now displayed outside the teams hangar at Scampton.
