This Starfighter was involved in a horrible collission with D-8098 at RAF Wildenrath during a squadron exchange. D-8098 landed while D-8341 was supposed to perform an overshoot. The latter hit the tailwing of its wingman that cut through the cockpit of D-8341, killing the pilot instantly. The airframe was stored at Volkel for many years before it was scrapped.
