First flight on 19 Aug'76, delivered to the RAF as GR1 on 27 Sep'76. Later converted to GR1A. It was written off on 24 Jul'96 while performing Dissimilar Air-to-air Combat Training with USAF F-16s during exercise Cope Thunder from Eielson (AK). XZ361 clipped trees while in a turn some 25 miles north of Anchorage (AK). The pilot managed to retain control but the left engine was damaged and had to be shut down. Unable to restart it and with additional system warning lights illuminating in the cockpit, the pilot decided to eject. He was rescued in the woods by an Alaska ANG team.
