This a/c crashed in 1982. The aircraft stalled during a descending turn onto the approach to Wattisham, Suffolk. Both crew ejected and it crashed one mile short of the runway. Per a contemporary report: "4 March 1982 also provided spotters some excitement when, while on 'bolthole' from nearby Honington, Buccaneer XW537 from 237 OCU stalled on finals and deposited itself, minus crew, neatly in two pieces in a field between the airfield and the village of Battisford"
