Written off 25/02/1982: Crashed into the Mediterranean Sea 5 miles south of Akrotiri, Cyprus, after the pilot applied negative G to recover from an extreme manoeuvre, which caused both engines to flame out. Aeration of the fuel lines was believed to have prevented relighting. The crew of two - Flt. Lt. M. S. McGeown and Flt. Lt. T. J. B.Tucker - ejected.
