This aircraft was lost in an accident near RAF Wattisham on 17 April 1985. Reportedly the canopy was not latched shut before take-off and then detached. The aircraft struck power lines and then a cottage, the pilot ejecting succesfully. This photo is copyright © Fergal Goodman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
