Seen in the static park at the first open day at the IWM Duxford facility. Winner of the Kings Cup Air Race at Rochester in July 1969. Damaged beyond repair on 23rd June 1991 when it crashed on approach to Headcorn Airfield after losing VFR orientation due to deteriorating weather conditions. G-ARZM was the lead aircraft of three Turbulents from The Tiger Club, along with G-APNZ and G-ASAM, that were returning to Headcorn after giving a formation flying display at RAF Henlow, Bedfordshire. All three crashed: G-ARZM and G-ASAM were written off, G-APNZ was substantially damaged. This photo is copyright © Terry Dann, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
