Written off (damaged beyond economical repair) 11 May 1967: Suffered a heavy landing at Manston, Kent. Damage was only slight but with the impending withdrawal from service of the Javelin XH764 was struck off charge as Cat.5(G/I) and allocated to 7972M. As a result, XH764 was put on display at Manston. Ironically XH764 had been en route to 27 MU, RAF Shawbury for storage pending disposal, as 29 Squadron had just re-equipped with the Lightning F.3. XH764 (7972M) was scrapped by Hanningfield Metals, Stock, Essex, by April 1990.

Probably belonging to No 71 Sqn, the jet was on its way from Gütersloh to Britain when the pilot had to make an emergency landing on Highway 43 - today's A7 - between Bolsward and Sneek, Friesland province. He steered into a ditch to avoid running into a car. VZ325 was repaired, and fatally crashed in 1955 when it dived into the ground near Aberdeen.
