One of the Army Air Corps' Eagles helicopter team. Destroyed when it collided with the rotors of XT509 during a display at Christchurch, Dorset, on 25 August 1969. It was burnt out in the ensuing crash landing in the garden of a nearby house, the pilot being slightly injured. (The pilot of XT509 was unfortunately killed.)
