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. This photo was added on 29 August 2025, and has since been viewed 92 times. |
