Written off after a hydraulic failure while returning to Lossiemouth from France on May 14th 1992. It diverted to St. Mawgan, Cornwall.The pilot, Wing Commander David Bolsover, executed a gear up landing accordingly. Seen here completing a nice flying display during IAT 1989 and fitted with AIM 9L Sidewinders and AS 37 Martel missiles.
